Soft-Boiled Eggs with Asparagus的做法  

1. Place the eggs (still in their shells) into a small sauce pot and cover them
   with cold water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the
   heat and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and hold the pot
   under cool running water to stop the eggs from cooking through.

2. In a wide skillet or frying pan, bring ½-inch of water to a simmer. Add
   asparagus spears and cook briefly, only until they turn bright green. Rinse
   them with cold water to halt their cooking process. Chop the spears in half
   and serve them on a plate alongside the eggs, seasoned with salt to taste.
   With the eggs placed either in an eggcup or on the plate, slice off one end of
   each egg and dip the asparagus spears into the runny yolks
