In a saucepan, cook the asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well and place in a large bowl. Combine the soy sauce, oil, vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, ginger and cumin; pour over asparagus and toss to coat. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Drain before serving. Serves 4. Enjoy! -Diana
