- Meanwhile, for vinaigrette, in a small saucepan combine the cornstarch, garlic powder, and ginger. Stir in apricot nectar. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in vinegar. Pour over cooked asparagus; toss gently to coat.
