Mostly fuju asparagus is being cooked now. So called asparagus, soy, dried. It is from it that they make such a popular salad as Asparagus in Korean. The recipe, for example, is the simplest. Soak 100 g of fuju for about 10 hours in cool water. If you have little time, you can speed up the process by pouring dried asparagus with boiling water, for 40-50 minutes. True, this is how you destroy beneficial substances into fuju, so try to use this method as little as possible. To speed up the process, you can grind asparagus already swollen in water, break it into small pieces or cut into 4-5 cm slices.
So, the asparagus is wet and ready for further processing. We wring it out. We clean the onion, cut it thinner into half rings and fry in vegetable oil, of course. Someone leaves fried onions in oil and makes Korean Asparagus salad with it. The recipe that I always use implies a different way of cooking. That is, we take out the onion from the butter and put it in a bowl, and dip the garlic (2-3 cloves), passed through the garlic, into the butter. To it we attach to the taste ground pepper, red. After stirring quickly, add these ingredients to the asparagus while still hot. So she is ready to serve.

After mixing all the components of the salad, it should be put in a cold place for 2 hours, so that the taste is more saturated. Hurry up? Time can be reduced to 20 minutes, but the taste will not be so original.
In addition to carrots, in such a salad you can add mushrooms, boiled chicken meat, sliced in thin sticks or straws, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. And each time the salad will acquire a new taste and look. What other spices, sauces, condiments, fragrant herbs can you season the Korean Asparagus dish? The recipe offers several options (it all depends on your preference): sesame, soy sauce, celery, lemon, thyme, salt, green onions, olive oil, sugar, parsley, wine vinegar, even jam syrup.
