My guests and I did not care for this recipe. I felt that the soy sauce flavor overpowered the dish (I followed the recipe exactly). I liked the idea of a cold, marinated, crisp asparagus dish, but this did not do it for me.

This is good. My marinade turned out a little too tart. Maybe it was because I used honey instead of sugar. I also used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil.

This is a DELICIOUS recipe and so easy! I roasted the asparagus in the oven with a little olive oil and used part sesame oil as some others had suggested. I also cut the spears into about 2" pieces to make it easier to serve at a potluck - not as pretty but worked well. I also toasted the pecans a bit.

This is a wonderful salad/vegetable. I took it to a party last night and it was eaten with many raves. This morning I had to send the recipe to everyone attending. I did substitute l tablespoon sesame oil for 1 of the vegetable oil and added the sesame seeds as someone suggested. It was wonderful and so easy. You just need to plan ahead to marinate it.

I enjoyed this recipe. Having a cold veggie to bring for a dinner is great, as you don't have to cook something when you get there. With marinating the asparagus it isn't as strong as normal, so even people who don't "like" asparagus, eat it. I confess I overcooked the asparagus a bit, but it was still good.

Couldn't wait to try this. I added some sesame oil to marinade 1 tsp. Toasted some sesame seeds to sprinkle over marinated asparagus, along with nuts and green onions. Couldn't be better. I always over buy the asparagus when it it first comes into season and then run out of ways of using it. This was absolutely terrific!!!

Very tasty. Can even substitute splenda/sweet & low for the sugar to make it even more low-carb.

Delicious! Even my friends who don't like asparagus liked this one. Didn't need all the pecans, and added a bit of sesame oil to the marinade. Will definitely make this again and again!

I made this once per the recipe (served cold). The 2nd time I marinated the washed & trimmed asparugus and microwaved them at the end so the dish was hot. My husband liked this a bit better than I did. It was OK but a bit sour, probably from the vinegar.

Absolutely excellent recipe. I do not normally even particularly like asparagus, but this recipe was a tremendous hit with both me and my family. My parents both loved it...in fact, my dad raved about it for the entire weekend. I only marinated it for a couple of hours, and it still was divine. The next day, I'd left it in the bag with the marinade, and it was even better. Will be making this recipe again and again--a permanent favorite.

I started making this dish with the intention of preparing it exactly as written. However, after marinating the asparagus overnight, I decided to ad lib the final touches. I tossed the marinated spears onto the grill at the last moment. After plating the beautifully grilled spears, I added the green onion, and sprinkled them with slivered almonds that had been toasted in the oven. THEY WERE DELICIOUS!! I will make this dish again and again!!
