Drain asparagus, rinse and drain again. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Mix all other ingredients and pour them over the asparagus, in a suitable glass form. Cover and let stand for about 1 hr in refrigerator.

Heat on medium power in microwave oven until mixture boils. Turn off heat but leave asparagus in oven until cool. May be served hot or cold. Will keep refrigerated for about 1 week.
