This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a bunch of asparagus that was about to go bad, and this dish was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm allergic to water chestnuts, so I substituted them with bamboo shoots. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. Maybe I did something wrong?

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and ginger next time.

Just made this for lunch and it was delicious! I used low-sodium soy sauce and it was still plenty flavorful. Will definitely be making this again.
