Clean the asparagus, trimming off any woody ends and cutting into strips about 1 cm wide. Leave the heads whole. Heat 3 tablespoons of sesame oil in a pan and sauté the asparagus. Add the sugar, coriander, garlic powder, cumin, and chili flakes and cook the asparagus for about 8 minutes until al dente (add a little water if necessary to prevent burning). Meanwhile, wash and quarter the cherry tomatoes, and prepare a marinade with balsamic vinegar, the remaining sesame oil, soy sauce, and salt. Lightly toast the 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds in a small pan. Let the asparagus cool slightly, then toss with the tomatoes, sesame seeds, and the marinade. This salad tastes best served lukewarm with fried fish or meat.
