Forgot to rate this! It was wonderful. Can asparagus be anything else? We liked the taste of the ginger with it. This went very well along with grilled thai chicken. I'll make this again!

What can I say – Asparagus is my favorite vegetable! This was simple yet so delicious. I never thought of using ginger with asparagus. This will be a great recipe to experiment with. Thanks for posting! Oh, I'm from Los Jefes de la Cocina for ZWT4.

I Love Asparagus and this may very well be the BEST recipe for asparagus I have ever tasted!! I love this combination with the cashews! I served this so very well with recipe #187477 and will very likely in the near future make this exact same combination again!! Thanks so much for this recipe, lazyme : )
