Enjoyed this pretty side. The nice green asparagus along with the little ribbons of orange dress your every day rice. Made as written, next time may try using 2 cups of stock and no water. Thanks so much for the post.

Nice little side dish. Loved the orange notes. Will add just a touch more salt next time. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag "Share the Love". :)
