This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra vegetables to make it a more complete meal.

I'm allergic to sesame, so I had to make a few substitutions. I used tahini instead of sesame oil, and I omitted the sesame seeds. It still turned out delicious!

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some added spices.

I had a hard time finding fresh asparagus, so I used frozen asparagus instead. It turned out okay, but I think it would have been better with fresh asparagus.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sesame asparagus turned out mushy. Maybe I cooked it for too long?
