Fill a pot with a lid halfway with water and add the salt, sugar, and vegan butter.
Cover, and bring to a low boil over high heat.
Clean the asparagus, chopping off the woody end of the spears.
Peel asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, and starting about 1 ½ inch (4 cm) from the tip, peel away the remaining tough outer layer.
Simmer. Place the prepared asparagus lying down in the pot. Cover, and reduce heat to medium to keep them simmering.
Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, or until a knife inserted in one stalk comes out smoothly.
Remove from the pot, drain and serve. Sprinkle with pink pepper.
