This dish is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I always have some leftover after making a stir-fry, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this dish. The water chestnuts and the sauce made all the difference.

The sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. It's not too heavy, so it doesn't overpower the asparagus.
