As the summer progresses and asparagus season dies down, use the same marinade recipe to grill green beans.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

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)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    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.

    Step 2

    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.
