Bacon-Wrapped Asian Asparagus

Asparagus is my favorite vegetable. Not just because its tart, earthy taste pairs well with just about everything–lemon and bacon are fairly traditional toppings, but I’ve also served mine with sweet honey-orange sauce or even date paste–but because it’s so darn easy to prepare. No peeling or chopping required, what’s not to love? Just break off those tough woody ends, give ’em a rinse, and you’re good to go. With a light, Asian-inspired sauce, this Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus combines one of my favorite accompaniments, bacon, with one of my favorite cuisines. It’s a side dish that’s full-flavored and the perfect pairing for beef, pork, fish, and chicken alike. It’s also a cinch to throw together while you’re working on the rest of your meal!
