This recipe makes a very tasty adult beverage that is very rich. It’s a party favorite among all! It is delicious all year long, but I often prepare it at Christmas and Easter. With a candy cane or dollop of whipped cream as a garnish, serve this beverage over ice.

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- ½ cup hoisin sauce
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- 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.

Reviews
Flavors did not work together. It was a waste of good asparagus.
I probably will use less hoisin next time, only because I like a little less, but my dad loved the amount and flavor! I loved the flavor and used the aluminum tip for cooking. Probably could have been on the grill a bit longer for more caramelization, but overall they were deliciousness the recipe is on point. Thank you!
It was a little too salty for my taste.
Delicious. Light flavor.
Delicious. I also cooked in the oven. have no grill. Really enjoyed this. Thank you
If you can’t get or don’t care for fresh asparagus, use fresh green beans
If you like the sweetness of Hoisin, you’ll love these. I used a grill pan over my gas grill, set on Med High, turning every few minutes for a total of about 8 minutes. Charred beautifully!
I am making this for the second time with seared sesame tuna and soba noodles.
Fantastic. Everyone loved it.
tasty and easy
Paired with seared sesame tuna and Japanese grilled mushrooms for a super meal.
What can I say? It’s asparagus and another way to disguise it’s taste. It works.
This is tasty, quick and easy! Update 11/19/19: Still my go-to asparagus recipe!
I’d definitely make this recipe again. The marinade was really nice. The Hoisin sauce gives it a great flavor!
Loved it! Would definitely make this again and again. Tasted great the first night. Had some leftover and when we had them again…..just as good.
Needed an Asian side dish to go along with my teriyaki beef and rice. Made this on my grill pan inside and it was delicious. The teriyaki beef dish I made was from Rachael Ray. Have made it quite a few times, using choice top sirloin.
Easy to do and has good a flavour with the Hoisin sauce.
It is a winter time and I don’t use my grill. Instead I baked asparagus for 15 mins on 400F, keeping souse on. Just before serving I sprayed asparagus with a little of lemon juice. It turned out great. Cannot be more happy: easy and tasty. The recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you, yorkc39!
Love these!
Very good and very easy to make. I’d never grilled asparagus prior to this. I’ll definitely make this one again when I’m grilling something else. My date loved it too!
I really enjoyed this simple recipe for grilled asparagus, and I didn’t change a thing. The hoisin sauce gives a slightly sweet flavor that balanced out any tendency toward bitterness. I will make this again!
