This was really good--a nice twist on an already great veggie! I used less ginger (1 tsp.) but will probably use more next time. I also added about 1/3 cup sliced scallions when I added the mushrooms.

I tried this with green beans instead of asparagus, and it was delicious too!

I added a bit more sugar to give it a sweet taste, but overall it was really good.

This was very good but more spicy than I like. Next time (and we will make it again) I'll use just 1 teaspoon ginger

My family absolutely loves this. It is requested whenever we have a special family meal.
