I made half the recipe and wish I'd made it all! This is delicious. Forgot to sprinkle the sesame seeds on for the pic, but did add them before eating. So good! I will happily make this recipe again!

Absolutely delightful, we both enjoyed it so much, I served it as a side dish but we could have eaten it as the main meal. thanks so much for posting this

Delicious! I knew it'd be good because I love asparagus and sesame seeds. I used the lite soy sauce to cut down on salt. Made for Fall PAC 2011.
