- TESTED 2002-02-13: We enjoyed the varied flavors, especially the hoisin and black bean sauce. Instead of using broth, we reserved the water from cooking asparagus to dilute the sauce. Original used wine; we used orange juice. Not mentioned above: we halved the recipe but served 8 spears apiece. Served with jasmine rice, sauteed raw in cool-press sesame oil with dry coconut, pureed ginger and slivered almonds. Hanneman
