EASY and good. I just added the asparagus during the last 5 minutes of the rice cooking and it came out perfect. Not to mention it saved dirtying another dish. - 3/16/07

I had never cooked or eaten asparagus. This recipe was easy and delicious! The cashew and rice was bolder than the asparagus, so that helped. I had beef stock so used that instead of vegetable and it was great, thanks for the recipe! - 5/10/08

This recipe was so good and surprisingly flavorful! Brown rice is always a challenge for me, becacuse i can never get it just right, but i loved this! Made with chicken lettuce wraps. Used low sodium chicken broth and added 1/2 tsp salt. Delish! - 1/19/10

I didn't have asparagus on hand, so used some frozen chopped broccoli instead that I lightly steamed before adding to the rice. This was a great accompaniment to Asian Marinated Chicken, also on sparkrecipes.com - 9/22/07

My husband and i loved but it was a bit bland. i added more pepper and some crushed red pepper flakes for some heat. will definitely make it agian though. i'm thinking of throwing a little soy sauce in it next time but still undecided. - 9/24/07

I just made it with frozen asparagus - I just let it thaw out while the rice was cooking. It still turned out great! Maybe it depends on what kind of rice you use, but it took about 1 hour for mine to cook. - 9/8/07

Asparagus was on sale so my husband came home with 2 big bunches. This recipe didn't use a lot of it...but I am so glad that I made it as a side dish tonight for supper. Scrumptious! - 2/25/13

We really liked this! I put in too much garlic and onion and more asparagus than it called for, and I used a brown/wild rice blend and grilled the asparagus and used chicken stock, but the basic recipe was there and it was very good. - 4/2/11

This is a good recipe for anyone with diabetes, and it's absolutely delicious! (The carb count seems a little low, though; how was it established?) I modified the recipe slightly (see below). - 4/14/10
