ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTER AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Fill medium pot 1/2 way w/ H2O, & splash of vinegar & bring to boil. Reduce heat to med-low for gentle simmer. 1 egg at a time, crack into a small teacup. Slowly and gently slide each egg into simmering water. Poach until whites are just set and yokes are still runny, 3-4 mins. Using slotted spoon, carefully transfer eggs to plate. Set aside. 2. Meanwhile bring medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until just tender, about 30 seconds. Drain immediately and pat dry with a clean dish towel. 3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add asparagus and toss often until slightly blistered in parts, about 30 seconds. Carefully add soy sauce, shaking skillet to coat asparagus until soy sauce reduces, about 15 seconds. Immediately remove skillet from heat. Add 1 TBsp H2O and butter. Continue to shake skillet and toss asparagus until butter is melted creating a dark golden brown sauce (if butter and soy sauce don't fully emulsify, add up to 1 TBsp of H2O and continue to toss until they do). 4. Divide asparagus and sauce among 4 plates, top with reserved eggs, sprinkle with sea salt to taste and serve.
