                Kat's Asparagus and Orange

1 orange, peel and white pith removed
1 bunch asparagus
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted if preferred

Peel orange, removing bitter white pith. Cut orange sections from between membranes, holding orange over bowl to catch juice. Set aside.
 Gently snap each asparagus stalk at the bottom (it will break at the spot where the woodiness begins). Discard woody ends; wash and dry asparagus. Slice on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces. Finely chop garlic. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over Medium-High heat. Add asparagus and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add orange sections with juice and stir gently to heat through. Remove from heat.
Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over asparagus mixture right before serving. Stir gently to coat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
