A few tips before cooking:
- Before you start cooking asparagus, you need to prepare it. To do this, break off the thick root parts, and then peel it with a knife from the middle of the stem to the root part.
- It is important that the asparagus retains its color and crunch after cooking.
- Do not add acidic ingredients such as lemon juice or vinegar during cooking. Do this only before serving.
