This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I usually have some leftover after I make a stir-fry or a salad, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my asparagus turned out really tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a little bit of salt and pepper to the water when I'm boiling the asparagus. It really enhances the flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the asparagus turned out too mushy for my taste. I think I will try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
