Outstanding. Used white asparagus and ginger spice instead of root, was generous with cashews. Will make every time asparagus is in season. A "Best Ever" award from family.

My husband was not a fan of asparagus nor was he inclined to try it until I made this recipe. I also cut the asparagus short and cut the oil back by a teaspoon of olive oil. I used unsalted cashews and toasted them (adds so much flavor!), added two cloves of garlic (minced) and 2 tablespoons of OJ to the pan with the cashews and and soy. The orange juice gave a nice, slight citrus "lift" that worked well with soy and ginger flavors. It is a keeper!

There was just too much oil for us. I am going to try again using 1/2 the amount of oils called for and maybe a pat of butter and near the end of cooking I will add a bit of minced garlic.

I added one tsp of minced garlic and only 2 tsps of olive oil. I used chopped almonds instead of cashews because that is what I had, also very good with fresh lemon juice squeezed on it right before eating. yummmmmmy... its a repeater..

This is my new favorite asparagus recipe! I cut the asparagus stocks short, used minced garlic, pureed ginger, low sodium soy sauce and reduced salt cashews that I toasted. It made a huge difference the second time around. More rich flavor came through in the dish without the salty-ness. The minced garlic is a great addition in my opinion and the pureed ginger seemed to blend/coat everything nicer than the minced ginger. I only used a small amount of sesame oil in the pan when cooking which is less than 1/2 of what the recipe called for and it came out excellent. You can serve this with a lot of main dishes; it seems the Asian flavor stands alone and doesn't need to carry over to the rest of the meal which I was concerned about. Thank you so much!

Liked this recipe but did reduce the oils by half. Use unsalted cashews only. I thought that using the salted cashews I had would be ok but it was too salty.

I was skeptical...but after decreasing oil to half of required, (like suggested) using unsalted nuts, and probably a little more than the mentioned soy sauce (light)...I tasted. YUMMY! So simple and the cashews just browned in the pan to give a toasted flavor. I too, could not stop sampling before serving. I wonder what would happen if you added some lemon zest? or lemon pepper? next time. Thanks for the recipe!

Good side kick to Beer Can Chicken. I will decrease the oils in half next time and possibly the cashews as well. But it was pretty darn good. Thanks Shellito!

Excellent dish. I've tried substituting all sorts of mixed nuts and it has worked out well. If you use salted nuts, just cut the salt out of the ingredients.

Best Asparagus recipe I've tried. It really shines when you get a good mix of the asparagus and cashews in the same bite. Next time I make it, I'll cut the asparagus into 1 1/2 inch sections to make it easier to get those perfect bites. I'll also follow the advice from Barb's review and use half the oil. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

This is a keeper. My only caution is to stick to the 1/2 cup of cashews (or less). My husband and I both love cashews so I added more than what it called for and it was a bit too much. The star of the show should be the asparagus.

Being an asparagus lover and a professional chef I'll go easy on this recipe. On the plus side, it was incredibly easy and quick to prepare. However, being too simple may also be a disadvantage. The outcome was predictable. In the future, I would add some lemongrass and perhaps something else. I definately wouldn't make this again as is.

This recipe is excellent, so taste and very simple. After I started making this dish I realized that I couldn't use any soy sauce due to medical reasons, but even with this missing ingredient it was fantastic. Served with Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze recipe from this site.

My family loves asparagus and I'm always trying new ways to prepare it. This recipe is fantastic and very easy to prepare. The first time I made this I didn't have any cashews so substituted peanuts, the 2nd time I used the cashews. My family liked it better with the cashews.

I don't have a wok so I used a regular frying pan. If the cashews are crushed they stick to the pan. Otherwise this is quite tasty indeed. My husband liked it too.
