I made this tonight and it was WONDERFUL! I didn't have quite a pound of asparagus, so I adjusted the quantity of sesame oil & soy sauce accordingly. My husband LOVED it as well. Wonderful way to serve asparagus. As my husband said "I have always loved asparagus...but this makes it even better!". Thank you for posting such a quick and delicious recipe!

Grilling asparagus was a new technique for me and what a pleasant surprise it was! The soy and sesame oil really produced a great flavor. I ended up with a lot of extra sauce that will be used on the next batch. Very pretty presentation, too, with the sprinkling of sesame seeds. PAC tag Spring '08.

DH and I loved the asparagus this way, we didn't mess with the bamboo skewers, we just laid them right on the grill. We will be making this again!

This is by far the best way to eat asparagus! I never really cared for asparagus until eating it this way. I ate close to a pound of this in one sitting - it was that good!
