Marinade and Asparagus
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Marinate the Asparagus
Place the trimmed asparagus in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the asparagus, ensuring all the spears are coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cook the Asparagus
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove asparagus from the marinade, shaking off excess. Grill the asparagus for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
Serve
Transfer the grilled asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with remaining marinade if desired, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper to taste.
