Asian Inspired Grilled Asparagus

I like to cook this asparagus side dish on an indoor iron grill to get grill marks, but feel free to cook the asparagus any way you like. The key to this dish is the simple soy sauce and sesame oil marinade. This recipe comes from my sister Kaitlin. Sometimes I add a pinch of salt or pepper but don’t tell her :)

Step: 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step: 2

Grill asparagus on preheated grill until they turn bright green and have grill marks, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to baking dish.

Step: 3

Whisk soy sauce and sesame oil together in a bowl; pour over cooked asparagus. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

The most clear way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can make to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do more often .
