Great alternate to just cooked asparagus. My husband doesn't like asparagus, but he liked this!

This recipe was awesome. I didn't change anything about the recipe, but next time I would use low sodium soy sauce because regular soy sauce mixed with cashews makes for a salty dish. This recipe goes into my recipe box for sure!

This recipe was ok. I followed it exactly. It had good flavor but was way too heavy on the oil. I think if I make this again I will use about 1/3 of the oil.

The best way i have found to make asparagus. My family loved it! My husband always asks me to make it and my 5 year old eats it up. i didn't have fresh ginger, but ground ginger worked well.

My Mother-in-law made this for Easter dinner!! OMG it is so tasty...we were all batteling for the last tidbit. We all thought it could use half the oils called for and be just as yummy. Double or triple the recipe, there won't be any leftovers!!

This was good but I couldn't taste the ginger, I would increase it next time. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing recipe! I've cooked it for a few different parties and potlucks and everyone always loves it... even people who aren't big fans of asparagus! The second time around, I used half of each oil, and added a few cloves of minced garlic at the same time as the ginger. I found both of those things improved the recipe even more!

I was worried this would turn out really bad when I started but was absolutely stunned with how great it turned out. Wonderful balance and taste; I never would have dreamed this combination of ingredients would taste so very good. Excellent compliment to nearly any meal, and one I will have in my recipe box forever. Thanks Shellito for sharing such a great Asparagus dish with us. I love it!

Delish! I sauteed a little garlic with the oil and ginger. The sesame oil makes it very flavorful. Great dish!

Absolutely fantastic, and very easy to make. I tripled this recipe for a party of six people, and there was none left. A tip for stemming asparagus: just grasp each stalk near the ends, and bend it until it breaks. Much easier and more accurate than using a knife.

We just had this tonight, and we thought it was absolutely a wonderful asparagus recipe! Cut the oils in half and used peanuts because we had them. Make sure you cook the asparagus until tender. I didn't cook it long enough, but it was still terrific! Thank you for this recipe!

I scaled this down to just one serving, used less oil, and toasted the cashews first in a skillet (just the nuts, no extra oil). The flavour was great!

We LOVED this recipe! After reading the other reviews, I too cut the asparagus in 3rds and decreased the oil by half. I used peanut oil instead of sesame oil (just cuz I was out of the sesame oil!) Quick & easy & yummy! This one is a keeper!

I didn't have cashews, so I used peanuts and it was delicious! It even tasted good cold the next day.

We love asparagus in this house and this is a good recipe to add to our repertoire. I reduced both oils by half; 1/4 cup [4 tbsps] seemed a lot of oil for a veggie dish, especially with the cashews. I used the fresh ginger, and found the flavour of the dish to be excellent.
