This is a very quick and healthy vegetable side dish. Even my son, who is very picky, loves this. It works well as a snack with wine, as an appetizer, or as a side dish, especially for Asian-inspired dishes.

I'm always looking for new ways to prepare asparagus because I eat it quite often. This is quick easy and very flavorful. I like the Asian twist. I served this with grilled salmon and it was the perfect meal. Thanks for the great recipe naturalbornhealer! Read More

Easy recipe. I subbed 2 T of tamari sauce for soy sauce. Way too salty and we like salty. I had very thin asparagus so that may have been the difference. I ll try again with less tamari. Read More

I made this for my family this evening for dinner my first time cooking asparagus on a stove top and it was delicious. I quadrupled all liquids to end with a little sauce to put over brown rice and it was perfect! My husband and kids loved it we will be using this recipe often. Read More

Easy to make! I tossed in some sliced baby Bella mushrooms and added a dash of powdered ginger! Great over rice. I'll be taking this to work for a healthy meatless lunch! Read More
