Grilled Sesame Asparagus - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus, fresh, thinner spears
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
sesame seeds (optional)

Preparation

Soak 2-3 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes or more.
Wash asparagus and snap the ends off. *Note: Snapping the ends off with your fingers rather than cutting will prevent the asparagus from being stringy.
Thread the asparagus spears onto the bamboo skewers.
Spoon or brush the toasted sesame oil onto the asparagus.
Spoon or brush the soy sauce onto the asparagus.
Sprinkle with pepper.
Place on BBQ grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Sesame seeds can be added after cooking or before, whichever you like better.
Any extra soy sauce-oil mixture can either be used for dipping or basting during cooking.
