This was okay. The cumin was very pronounced tasting in mine, so it didn't taste as "oriental" as I thought it should/would. I also thought it tasted much better while warm than cold. Next time I make this I think I will omit the cumin.

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it is wonderful. We love asparagus, but were getting tired of steamed or grilled. This salad is perfect. Very quick to prepare and it's yummy!!

This recipe is fantastic! It's quick and easy and super tasty...especially if you're using fresh, in season, locally grown asparagus! I made a couple of adjustments. I used the low sodium soy sauce to cut down on the saltiness. As well, I used dark sesame oil instead of the veg oil and used rice wine vinegar instead of just any old vinegar as this recipe calls for it. I took it to a potluck and it was a hit! Instead of draining off the marinade at the end we ended up using it as a salad dressing, so don't just toss it, use it! YUM!

I recommend using sesame oil for more "oriental" flavor. Also, I felt that 2 tbsps of soy sauce made the dish too salty. Next time, I'll use just one.

This was real different. I never know what to do with asparagus and usually just cook it the same way all the time. I am new on here and wonder....what did I do without this website! I will definitely make this again.

This was fantastic. I gave it 5 stars because it's not only VERY tasty but very easy and quick to prepare. The flavors are just right together. I didn't have sesame seeds so I added 1 tsp of sesame oil instead. YUM! PS - it also tastes great warm.

This was wonderful!! We added some grape tomatoes for a little color and some parmesan cheese shavings. Served it at a bunco party and was a real hit!!
