Ingredients:

1     pound         asparagus
1     teaspoon      olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2     large         tangerines or small oranges
1/3   cup           fresh tangerine juice or orange juice
2     teaspoons     rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons     oriental sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons     grated tangerine peel or orange peel
1                   garlic clove
3/4   teaspoon      minced peeled fresh ginger
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
2     tablespoons   finely-chopped green onion tops
2     tablespoons   finely-chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place asparagus in medium bowl. Pour enough cold water over asparagus to cover; let stand 15 minutes. Drain. Spread asparagus in 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan; drizzle with oil. Roast asparagus until crisp-tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer asparagus to platter; cool.
Using sharp knife, cut peel and white pith from tangerines. Cut between membranes to release segments. Arrange tangerine segments atop asparagus. Whisk tangerine juice, vinegar, sesame oil, peel, garlic and ginger in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over asparagus. Sprinkle with green onion tops and peanuts and serve.
