If you don't want to use fxp/composer-asset-plugin then all you have to do is to follow these simple instructions from Yii2 documentation.

Using asset-packagist repository

This way will satisfy requirements of the majority of projects, that need NPM or Bower packages.

Note: Since 2.0.13 both Basic and Advanced application templates are pre-configured to use asset-packagist by default, so you can skip this section.

In the composer.json of your project, add the following lines:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://asset-packagist.org"
    }
]

Adjust @npm and @bower aliases in you application configuration:

$config = [
    ...
    'aliases' => [
        '@bower' => '@vendor/bower-asset',
        '@npm'   => '@vendor/npm-asset',
    ],
    ...
];

Visit asset-packagist.org to know, how it works.
