Step 1
1 bunch green asparagus – 1 tbsp Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Oil – 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
Wash the asparagus and break or cut off the woody ends (about 2–3 cm). If the stems are thick, gently peel the lower part. Pat dry, brush with Kikkoman Sesame Oil, then coat in the white sesame seeds.
Step 2
200 g puff pastry – 130 g plain cream cheese – 2 tbsp Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ Sauce with Honey & Smoky Taste
Mix the cream cheese with the Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ Sauce Honey and spread it over the sheet of puff pastry. Cut the pastry into 4 long strips and wrap each strip around a few asparagus spears.
Step 3
1 tbsp black sesame seeds – 1 egg – 2 tbsp Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ Sauce with Honey & Smoky Taste
Place the wrapped asparagus on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with the black sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes at 200 °C. Serve with the Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ Sauce Honey.
Tip:
Instead of black sesame seeds, you can sprinkle the pastry with black cumin, chopped chilli or grated Parmesan. You can replace half of the green asparagus with white asparagus—peel it from just below the tip right down to the base, then trim off the tough, woody ends.
