The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise this was a great recipe. The chicken and asparagus were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still crisp.

This stir-fry was easy to make and very tasty. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they turned out really moist and flavorful. I also added some red pepper flakes for a little extra heat.
