Notes about this recipe

    A straightforward and tasty recipe although I added 3x the black pepper and finished the dish with a light squeeze of lemon. The finishing pat of butter provides great sauce body and adherence.

    Agreed that it could use just a little something extra - good flavour and great crunch, but something to finish it off would be better.

    This is very good and the cooking technique is great. However, despite the recipe note stating that this is a case of "less is more," I thought it could have benefited from another ingredient such as sesame oil or oyster sauce. It tasted like it was missing something.

    Love the crunch of the asparagus! Quick and easy. Perfect for middle of the week or to add to weekend meals. Definitely a keeper.
