Asparagus Appetizer Recipe

Break off the tough lower end of each stalk of asparagus. Wash and cut stalks into 1 inch pieces. Place asparagus and water in a microwave safe container. Cover and microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain excess water out of container. Pour juice and soy sauce over asparagus, add garlic and stir. Marinate for at least one hour. Strain off marinade. Arrange asparagus on a serving dish and garnish with grated orange rind. Serve at room temperature or chill.
