I love my asparagus, though I must admit it took me a while to get used to it being green! In Europe it’s mostly the white variety. This is wonderfully displayed, if it tastes half as good as it looks this is a winner 🙂

I’m not a fan of fish but when I looked up the fish sauce they said to use it in place of soy sauce or salt, so I’m going the other direction and will try this with soy sauce, lol. It looks so good! I’d love the Chilli and Ginger dipping sauce!
