=== Fish Paste ===
* 1 lb ling cod or other firm white fish
* 1 tbsp light soy sauce
* 1 tbsp dry sherry

* 1 cup fish paste
* 4 tsp Thai-style chile paste
==Directions==
=== Fish Paste ===
# Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and reduce to a paste.
# It should have the consistency of cookie dough. If it is not dry enough, add more cornstarch.
=== Asparagus ===
# Heat the oil to medium in a wok or other deep, heavy vessel.
# Take 3 or 4 asparagus spears in one hand and about 2 or 3 tablespoons of fish paste in the other.
# Wrap the fish paste around the middle of the sheave to bind it together.
# Drop it into the hot oil and deep fry for about 3 minutes, or until the fish paste is set and just beginning to brown.

# Repeat, cooking three or four sheaves at a time.
# Combine the remaining fish sauce and chile paste and drizzle over the cooked sheaves.
