Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
½ cup hoisin sauce
sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Place asparagus and hoisin sauce into a resealable plastic bag and shake several times to coat asparagus with sauce. Allow to stand at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, refrigerate and marinate overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove asparagus from bag and shake off excess hoisin sauce; lay asparagus spears onto the grill and cook, turning every 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides of the spears show grill marks and hoisin sauce has caramelized onto the asparagus, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Transfer asparagus to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
