This is a nice stir-fry. Very nice, but it seems to be slightly under-seasoned to me. I added a little soy sauce, sesame oil and salt, and now I'm quite happy with it. I didn't season it so strongly that the flavor of the vegetables is washed out. From that point of view, this is a nice place to start seasoning, cautiously. I also prefer green onion, and even asparagus in somewhat smaller pieces. I'd like to give 4 1/2 stars here, but can't. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. -
Delicious. I madee the recipe as directed except for adding a little sesame oil. A great way to use up leftover pork. -
Served over lo mein noodles, using leftover roast pork and--drat-- the only mushrooms in the house at the moment--product of USA canned buttons...and it was a great meal. Omitted the sugar and green onions. The sauce was nicely balanced and the flavor of the asparagus ruled. Thank you.
