2 small garlic cloves minced, or 1 medium clove
1 1/4 teaspoons ginger freshly minced or grated
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce, tamari
1 tablespoon sesame oil

20 ounces asparagus tough ends snapped off, 1 1/4 pounds

Light a medium fire in the grill or preheat the broiler.

Brush with 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon dressing to coat the asparagus lightly.

Grill the aspragus, about 6 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender-crisp and streaked with the light grill marks, or line up the spears in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, setting the sheet about 4 inches from the top and rotating the spears once halfway through, until tender and browned in some spots, about 7 minutes.

Slice the asparagus into about 2-inch pieces.
7
Stir together the peanut buter, cilantro, and 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon water into the remaining dressing.

In a large platter or a large bowl, toss the aspragus with the dressing until well and evenly coated.
