Drain and chill under cold running water; drain again and spread on towel to dry. (Make-ahead: Roll up in towel and refrigerate in plastic bag for up to 6 hours.)
Ginger Dressing: Mix vinegar and ginger; let stand for 2 minutes. Strain into bowl; press to extract liquid. Whisk in oil, rind and juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.)
Cut off peel and outside membrane of oranges; cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick rounds. Place a few lettuce leaves on each plate; top with asparagus and oranges. Drizzle dressing over top. Sprinkle with almonds.
