Cut the woody ends of the asparagus and with a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, peel the asparagus, being careful not to break the spears.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the asparagus, butter, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Add more water if necessary to make sure all the asparagus is covered.
Over low heat, cook the asparagus until just tender, about 15 minutes, depending on the thicknes.
With a slotted spoon or tongs, carefully remove the asparagus. Serve immediately.
