Ingredients

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)

¼ cup white miso

2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar

2 teaspoons freshly grated peeled ginger

2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), trimmed

Lime wedges, thinly sliced scallions, and toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Method

Prepare a grill for high heat. Whisk mirin, miso, vinegar, and ginger in a small bowl. Place asparagus in a pie plate or small baking dish and pour miso mixture over. Toss to coat.

Grill asparagus, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and crisp-tender, 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Squeeze lime juice over, then top with scallions and sesame seeds.
