Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

- FISH PASTE-
1 lb ling cod -- 500g
or other firm white fish
1 tbsp soy sauce -- light
1 tbsp dry sherry
1 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 cup scallions -- sliced

fish paste -- 1 cup
1 1/3 tbsp chili powder -- paste

Fish Paste: Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and reduce to a paste. It should have the consistency of cookie dough. If it is not dry
enough, add more cornstarch.

Asparagus:Heat the oil to medium in a wok or other deep, heavy vessel. Take 3 or 4 asparagus spears in one hand and about 2 or 3 tablespoons of fish paste in the other. Wrap the fish paste around the middle of the sheave to bind it together. Drop it into the hot oil and deep fry for about 3 minutes, or until the fish paste is set and just beginning to brown. Remove and
drain. Repeat, cooking three or four sheaves at a time. Combine the remaining fish sauce and chile paste and drizzle over the cooked sheaves.

Variation: To reduce calories, cook the sheaves in boiling clarified chicken or fish stock. You could also use green beans, or bell peppers cut into thin strips lengthwise.

If you don't wan tto make your own fish paste, you can buy it from any Chinese supermarket or fishmonger.
