NOTES
First spring asparagus spears are so soft that they do not need any trimming. However, later in season you can trim off the tough bottom of the spear by grasping each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness (about 2/3 of the way down the spear). You can also peel off the outer skin of the spear using a vegetable peeler.
This recipe uses Kewpie Mayonnaise which is far superior in taste. Of course, you can substitute it either with a homemade one or any mayonnaise available in your local store.
