Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, select asparagus stalks of similar thickness.
  • Trim the asparagus stalks by snapping off the woody ends. This can be done by bending each stalk until it naturally breaks.
  • Marinate the asparagus in the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help infuse the asparagus with flavor and prevent it from drying out during grilling.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the asparagus. This will help prevent the asparagus from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Grill the asparagus for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the grilled asparagus immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

Grilled Soy Sesame Asparagus is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor.
