TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Making Ohitashi is a great way to eat spring vegetables. Although spinach is the most popular, you can make ohitashi with any sort of vegetables. This time we are gonna make it with Asparagus. Yes, those veggies that make your pee smell funny!

Ohitashi literally means “soaked” in dashi-based sauce, and all you need to do is to soak the veggies (usually steamed or boiled) in that sauce.
