Add to the onion with the curry paste, 2 teaspoons of the honey, the wine, salt and pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes until well reduced and syrupy.
3. Trim the asparagus then cut into 1 ½ -inch lengths. Plunge into a small pan of boiling salted water and cook for 2 minutes until just tender. Trim the spring onions, cut into ¾-inch lengths and add to the pan. Place in a colander and rinse well under cold water.
4. Place the fried onion mixture into a bowl and set aside to cool a little.
