Cashew Asparagus

"I was looking for a new way to use up some asparagus and stumbled across a recipe on Yahoo!Food that gave me the inspiration for this. It worked great as a side for some chicken, but it would also make a nice main dish over some jasmine rice (just adjust the serving size accordingly). We like our veggies more on the crisp side, so if you like yours softer, just saute until done to your liking :)"

  1. DH and I loved these veggies. Made as directed and wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Excellent! I could have eaten the whole pan by myself. I still can't get over how yummy this was. I am putting the recipe into my best of 2015 file. I made as directed, but used half the amount of asparagus (keeping full amount of other veggies) and half the amount of the soy and sherry (keeping the full amount of corn starch). Thank you!
     
  3. Delicious recipe Starry. My dh was over the moon. Great flavors, awesome textures, wrapped in a silky sauce. It was quick and easy to make. Thanks for sharing this great way to showcase asparagus; all the vegetables and seasoning were complimentary to one another. Made exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. Enjoyed for the Best of 2014 Tag Game.
     
  4. Positively great recipe. The flavors all meld together for a great tasting dish. And it's so easy to make. We really enjoyed this recipe. Thanks, Starrynews. Made for 2014 Culinary Quest (China).
     
  5. Delicious! We loved this quick and easy asparagus. The addition of the mushrooms, peppers, and onions made it a perfect side dish to recipe #80581. I added a touch of sugar to the soy sauce/ sherry mixture. Other than that, I made exactly as written. This was served it over jasmine rice. Thank you for sharing! **Made for Culinary Quest - Suitcase Gourmets**
