Instructions

Lower 1 egg into simmering water and cook 9 minutes, then transfer to iced water. Peel once cold and cut into quarters lengthways.
Bring a small pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the 50 g of trimmed asparagus for 2 minutes, until just tender with a bite. Lift straight into iced water, then drain and pat dry.
Make the Louie dressing: in a small bowl whisk 2 tbsp mayonnaise with 1 tbsp chilli sauce, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp finely grated onion, 1 tsp finely chopped green pepper, 0.25 tsp Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of cayenne. Season with salt and pepper and chill until needed, it should be pale coral and loose enough to spoon.
