Outstanding!!!! This would be good with broccoli, maybe carrots, and who knows what else. Has a very Japanese flavor. I didn't have shallots but used scallions instead. I doubt it made any difference.

A nice platform for very crisp asparagus - very light and fresh tasting, with great ginger, sesame, and soy. I prefer my asparagus more tender though.

My whole family liked this one...including the kids! I sometimes roast instead of steam the asparagus.
