Fresh asparagus, steamed tender-crisp, is sautéed in toasted sesame oil, lightly coated with fresh lemon juice and then sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Steaming the asparagus first helps enhance its flavor and lessens the amount of oil that is required. Makes a great side dish for a light, al fresco dinner.
