Vegan Korean Gochujang Grilled Asparagus

I had the pleasure of living in Asia for a while and trying lots of different Asian cuisines. Korean food is one of the most flavorful cuisines I know: its flavors are a balance of sweet, salty, hot and sour. This Gochujang grilled asparagus is one of my favorite dishes. Hope you enjoy!
