Ok, here's the secret:
Take one bunch of asparagus and snap off the ends, throw away. Fill a medium bowl (4 c measuring cup) with some water and place asparagus into water, snapped-end down. Cook in microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and place asparagus in skillet on medium heat with evoo and salt and pepper sprinklings. Cover. Cook to desired crispness/tenderness (~5-10 min). When this has occurred, splash asparagus with soy sauce. Remove from skillet and place on serving dish. Serve immediately. Yummy!!! :-)
