Comments: 9/30/2014 - I made half a recipe, and omitted the sugar and salt. We got maybe 3 servings.
5/16/2019 - I used 1 pound of asparagus, but kept the other ingredients as specified in the recipe. It tasted good, and maybe we got 4 servings. I served it with tofu stir-fry and rice.
9/19/2019 - I doubled the soy sauce and spices. It was good.
1/11/2020 - I substituted a small head of broccoli for the asparagus.
5/15/2021 - I had thin stalks of asparagus. I doubled the soy sauce and spices again. I cooked the asparagus at # 6 for 3 minutes and then for 2 minutes after adding the broth mixture. We ate it in one sitting.
