Directions

Arrange the tossed asparagus onto a serving platter,

All the ingredients we need to make this delicious recipe.

Light a medium fire in the grill or preheat the broiler.

Add the garlic, ginger, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a medium bowl, whisk until well blended, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Brush with 1 to 1½ tablespoon dressing to coat the asparagus lightly.

Grill the asparagus, about 6 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender-crisp and streaked with the light grill marks, or line up the spears in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, setting the sheet about 4 inches from the top and rotating the spears once halfway through, until tender and browned in some spots, about 7 minutes. Let cool for about 2 minutes. Slice the asparagus into about 2-inch pieces.
