I made this tonight and it was WONDERFUL! I didn't have quite a pound of asparagus, so I adjusted the quantity of sesame oil & soy sauce accordingly. My husband LOVED it as well. Wonderful way to serve asparagus. As my husband said "I have always loved asparagus...but this makes it even better!". Thank you for posting such a quick and delicious recipe!

I am trying to eat healthier, which means eating out less and cooking more. I had almost forgotten how much I love to cook!! I am also trying to include more fruits and vegetables in my diet.
I live on the north side of Chicago and work as a pianist/piano teacher. For fun, I enjoy biking and going to festivals and farmers' markets.
