Asparagus's natural sweetness and slight bitterness truly come alive over fire (grilling), where sugars caramelize and gain smoky notes. We highlight this bold flavor with a classic Asian combo: sesame, soy, and ginger. Quick, elegant, and full of flavor.

Instructions

1 ✓

Snap off woody ends of asparagus, wash and pat dry.

Tip: If asparagus stalks are thick, you can peel the bottom part thinly.
2 ✓

Mix dressing: soy sauce, half the sesame oil, ginger, garlic, honey, lime juice.

3 ✓

Brush asparagus with remaining sesame oil. Grill in hot pan for 3-5 minutes until grill marks appear but still crisp.

Tip: Sesame oil can burn and turn bitter at too high heat, so grill over medium heat.

Recipe FAQ

How do I know where to snap the asparagus end?
Bend it at the lower third: it will snap right where the woody, inedible part ends and the tender stem begins.
