Provided by Sarah

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces chicken breast ((thinly sliced))
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon oil ((any neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil))
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/2 cup water ((or low sodium chicken stock))
2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons oil ((any neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil))
1 clove garlic ((minced))
1 pound asparagus ((end trimmed and sliced on a sharp angle into 2-inch pieces))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken, water, cornstarch, oil, and oyster sauce. Mix until the liquid has been absorbed by the chicken. Set aside to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the water (or chicken stock), cornstarch, white pepper, sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Heat your wok over high heat until it just starts to smoke, and add 1 tablespoon of oil to coat. Spread the chicken evenly in one layer, and allow it to sear undisturbed for 30 seconds. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds, or until about 75% cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok, along with the minced garlic. Cook for 15 seconds, and add the asparagus. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
  • Meanwhile, mix your sauce mixture to ensure the cornstarch is fully incorporated. Add it to the wok, and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the chicken back to the wok, and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. The sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon, and the asparagus should be crisp-tender.
  • Taste for seasoning and add additional salt to taste if needed. Serve over rice.

Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 1 teaspoon
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dry sherry
3/4 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade or water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody stems trimmed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
Serving suggestion: Brown or white rice

Steps:

  • Freeze the chicken breasts for 20 to 30 minutes and then thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips. Toss the strips with about half the garlic and ginger, the soy sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the sherry in a bowl. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with the broth.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus, scallions, remaining garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of water, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until the asparagus is bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the same skillet until very hot, then add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Return the asparagus to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a full boil to thicken. Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates; serve with rice.

TURMERIC-BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS



Turmeric-Black Pepper Chicken With Asparagus image

In this sweet and spicy stir-fry, black pepper, honey and rice vinegar help accentuate turmeric's delightfully earthy qualities. Thinly sliced asparagus doesn't need much time to cook, but feel free to swap with any other vegetables that cook in just a few minutes, like thinly sliced green beans, frozen peas or baby spinach. Serve this with rice or rice vermicelli noodles, or tuck it into a lettuce cup or pita with yogurt and fresh herbs. You could also trade the chicken for tofu, shrimp or cubed pork shoulder.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons honey
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon coconut or canola oil
12 ounces asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on an angle
1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar or soy sauce
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together 1/4 cup water with the honey, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set honey mixture aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, turmeric and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken and toss until coated.
  • In a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook until the turmeric is fragrant and the chicken is golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the asparagus, season with salt, stir to combine and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the honey mixture and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lime squeezed over top, if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp asparagus and cabbage. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Cabbage should be heavy for its size and have no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Cut the asparagus and cabbage into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. Cut the asparagus spears into 2-inch pieces and the cabbage into 1-inch pieces.
  • Marinate the chicken in a flavorful sauce. This will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables and chicken over high heat. This will help to quickly cook the vegetables and chicken and prevent them from becoming soggy. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the vegetables and chicken and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the sauce and cook until heated through. Stir in the reserved marinade and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and bubbly.
  • Serve immediately. Asparagus, cabbage, and chicken stir-fry is best served immediately, while the vegetables are still crisp and the chicken is hot.

Conclusion:

Asparagus, cabbage, and chicken stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables, lean protein, and flavorful sauce. This dish is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give asparagus, cabbage, and chicken stir-fry a try.
