Wash and dry the white asparagus thoroughly.

Peel the asparagus from the tip down to the stem using a vegetable peeler, avoiding the tip.

Rotate the asparagus while peeling to ensure the entire surface is clean.

Make a second pass with the peeler from the middle down to remove all fibers.

Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus, about 3 centimeters from the bottom.

Fill a pot with enough water to lay the asparagus flat; about 1 liter is sufficient.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the boiling water.

Add the asparagus to the pot and bring the water back to a gentle boil.

Cook the asparagus for 10 to 15 minutes depending on thickness; check doneness by piercing with a knife.

Once cooked, remove the asparagus and place them on a serving plate.
