Asparagus is a wonderful vegetable that is quick and easy to prepare, this recipe coats it in a flavorsome Asian inspired dressing.
Very light but very nice. Asparagus was tender, but not "cooked". The dressing is great. Will probably use on a cucumber and tomato salad tomorrow. I put diced red pepper in with the asparagus as it seemed to need more colour. Thanks for a great recipe! I'll bet there is more that can be done with this starting as a base but it's really nice as it is! - 05 Apr 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This is a nice change-up on the asparagus I usually make. I will say I think that for 1 and 1/2 pounds of asparagus, the recipe as written makes a whole lot of dressing. I also think it calls for too much oil. I do prefer my dressings with a little more vinegar than oil in the ratio but two tablespoons of peanut oil and one tablespoon of sesame oil is too much. Cut both of those in half. But I like it - I love asparagus and am always looking for ways to cook it. - 07 Oct 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I give 5 stars b/c of my DH's delight - he said it was AWESOME! I didn't have peanut oil, but used all other ingredients as written. Instead of making a cold "salad," I used the dressing as a sauce poured over warm, cooked asparagus. It was really good. A nice way to cook asparagus. - 22 Jan 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
