Wow...A ten star dish! I substituted broccoli for asparagus and also added some carmalized onions. This turned out wonderfully. Filling, but still healthy. It makes more than 4 servings for our appetites. I think it'd be very tasty cold.

Absolutely delicious! And notice the fat grams-very low. AND, it's very quick and easy to make. My idea of the perfect recipe. Only thing I changed was to add some fresh edamame (soybeans).

Delish! I had to substitute baby bok choy, snow peas and swiss chard for the asparagus (oh, drat!) ~It's just what I had on hand :0) The flavors were awesome- especially once we added a tad of chili sauce and a squeeze of lime. YUMMMMMMM! What a wonderful recipe to tweak and create many, many other fabulous dishes. Thanks so much for sharing, Chia!

Enjoyed this dish for lunch today. Very fast prep and cook time, which was a bonus because we were in hurry. I had to omit the asparagus because I was out. We liked this, but thought something was missing. I added some crushed red pepper flakes and a little bit of hoisin to mine and it did the trick.
