I’ve been trying to get creative with how I cook my vegetables, so that I want to eat more vegetables. Hence the shaved asparagus!
Not everyone is a fan of asparagus, but if you haven’t tried them in this noodle-like form you might really like them! I prepared them with some of my favorite asian-inspired flavors to give them that flavor profile I crave so much. This dish would be great as a lunch, a side, or as a noodle alternative that I could eat any day.
When it comes to cooking these recipes, they’re usually born out of curiosity and just having fun with ingredients I love, or want to love! This asparagus is one of those recipes that is just so tasty, with just a few simple ingredients.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

The mandolin suggestion is an exercise in frustration. I’ve done it for a shaved asparagus pizza (yum) I find success with a vegetable peeler and then when the stalks get too small, julienne them and call it a day. Look for heftier stalks at the store.
Asparagus is one of those veggies I’m familiar with, but it’s a tough pill to swallow. This sounds SO good though, I would totally eat this!!
Ok I made this tonight but what am I doing wrong?! It took all night to shave the asparagus 🤣
..but also, it was delicious!!
Oh no! Maybe using a mandoline slicer would help!
I want to eat more veggies than the moderate amount I currently do, too! I’m a decent home cook as a homeschooling mom with multiple food sensitivities… lots of practice :) But I find I get very resistant to recipes involving lots of ingredients, steps, or resultant dirty dishes for a proportionally small amount of food – the cost/benefit is just not there for me. This one does seem doable and I have printed it out!
This sounds very yummy. Can’t wait to try it. But honest legit question.m, how do you shave asparagus? What room do you use and is it easy or will I lose a finger or two 🤪 TIA!
You could use a regular vegetable peeler, or a mandoline if you have one!
