• 15 ounces (425g) fresh green asparagus, cut into 1/2-inch (1-cm) pieces

• Dash of pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon coriander stem, chopped

1. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups (480ml) of the vegetable stock to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 5-6 minutes over medium heat until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch-and-water mixture with the remaining 1 cup (240ml) of vegetable stock. Gradually add to the soup, stirring constantly until it thickens.
