Delicious and easy! The sauce doesn't overpower the flavor of the asparagus, and won't clash with your main dish. I may increase the soy & vinegar by half again as much the next time I make it, but it was divine as written! I liked roasting the asparagus rather than boiling nutrients away. Smelled great in the oven, too!

I sampled the asparagus when I took it out of the oven and it was good. However, I didn't care for it as much with the sauce. The rest of my family felt the same.
