Other than using less-sodium soy sauce, made exactly as written. Just the right amount of sweet and savory.

Delicious and easy. I left out the salt.

Rather than roasting this, I stir fried it with a little oil. It came out pretty good!

This was really good. I love asparagus and this was a very unique way to make it. I think this would be great with an Asian flavored chicken dish...can't wait to try it again. Made this for Zaar Stars Tag.

I made this recipe exactly as written with no deviations. Wow! If you are looking for a new way to prepare your asparagus, I encourage you to try this recipe. I never expected the asparagus to taste so wonderful. I am not sure if it is the soy or the apricot preserves, but something or combination thereof, really brought out the natural flavor of the asparagus. I do not give many recipes 5 stars, but I have no hesitation is giving this recipe the full Monty.
