Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by about 1-2 inches.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar dissolves completely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Marinate the Asparagus

    Place the trimmed asparagus in a shallow dish and pour the prepared sauce over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

  2. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 5

    Grill the Asparagus

    Remove the asparagus from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.

  4. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the asparagus from the grill and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
