I have been grilling asparagus a lot lately and this Asian asparagus recipe is definitely one of my favs. So crank up that weber, marinade your asparagus and GET ON IT!!
This bbq Asian asparagus recipe is one that I adapted from one I found online so I can’t take all the credit – as much as I wish I could. What I can take credit for are the pics and how damn good it looks!!! Truthfully though when anything is grilled on a weber grill it honestly just tastes great.
Anyways, this is a quick post as I am currently being shouted at by the 2yr old who has now in her own words upgraded her status to princess! Currently, we are under going some gender issues as anytime I do something right or correct she tells me “good girl daddy, good girl” and when mum does something we get “he is just doing’…….. SO in my efforts to not be totally embarrassed in public, more than normal that is. I decided to try teach her the difference between boys & girls. Let’s start small and simple with “Olivia, are you a boy or a girl”. Her response was “daddy, I’m a princess”. Lesson over and Dad put in his place!! Guess I’ll try again later on so. Right, this Dad aka “good girl” is off to play some form of shopping/going on a trip/LEGO and stickers all at once – don’t ask.

Thanks so much Ericka!!! I’ll be posting something new in the next day or so. Don’t forget to subscribe to stay up to date. Have a great new year!
hahaha ! When your kid says “good girl ,Daddy” that’s so cute baby. I like the way you add quick recipes. It comes handy when we can’t control hunger and needs something to be tasty and quick.
Yeah she still hasn’t figured out make/female perfectly yet. Lucky for her I don’t have a complex
I have never had asparagus! But I really want to. It’s not eaten that much where I’m from. But I have seen it so many times on cooking shows that I have always wanted to try. Maybe will try your recipe to start with.
Do and I’ve another one too if some ingredients are ready available

Now who would have thought about a bbq asparagus recipe? Honestly, this is such a new yet yummy recipe! I can imagine how sweet the taste of lemon and vinegar is!
It’s delicious – I ate the whole thing on my own one day 🤤🤤
Cooking Asparagus is so tricky. I don’t like it much boiled or fried. But. I might try the BBQ option! It looks so good!!
It’s the best way to do it. So quick and tasty
I have a stupid question, when you cook the asparagus on the bbq, should you wrap it in foil or just throw it on the grill?
No stupid questions at all. The only way to learn is to ask!! Nope, just throw it (gently) straight on the hot grill. About 2mins each side. Gives it a nice char but keeps some bite to it too
Ooh, la la! That looks so delicious. I love asparagus a whole lot especially when it is cooked in its natural flavours but I am willing to give this recipe a try.
Thanks Alvern!!! I could eat asparagus all day. If you like this one then feel free to check my other asparagus recipe out too
