I would make this recipe again - but the low rating is for one reason. A teaspoon of salt is WAY too much, I can testify as a salt addict that the dish tastes great with the salt in the broth alone. Save your salt for when you make popcorn! -
This is quite a nice, simple and deliciously flavored way to cook asparagus, and one cannot possibly have too many asparagus recipesI I used Asian chili flavored sesame oil in mine. I served this with Recipe #326407 , as it needed a vegetable of some sort and this was perfectly paired on the side. Thanks for sharing! ~Sue -
This was excellent. I made my own chili oil by slow cooking chili flakes in olive oil for a few minutes before turning up the heat and adding the garlic and shallots. Thanks little!
