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.

Asparagus and Chicken Stir-fry image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS



Teriyaki Chicken With Asparagus image

A different and satisfying stir-fry. For a vegetarian option, omit chicken. Great recipe to use up left-over chicken.

Provided by Backwoods Foodie

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 asparagus spears, cut into quarters
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup bell pepper, sliced thinly
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 1/2 sliced mushrooms
1/2 lb chicken breast, diced
3 cups prepared rice
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet until hot.
  • Saute asparagus, peppers, onions, garlic and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes.
  • Mix in chicken, rice and cranberries. Saute an additional 5-7 minutes.
  • Combine cornstarch, teriyaki and chicken broth.
  • Stir mixture into sauté mix and cook until thickened.
  • Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the stir-fry process.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: You'll need a large skillet or wok to accommodate all the ingredients in the stir-fry. A smaller pan will make it difficult to stir-fry everything evenly.
  • Heat your pan or wok over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from steaming.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a lot of food, it's best to stir-fry in batches. This will prevent the pan from getting too crowded and the food from cooking unevenly.
  • Use a spatula to stir-fry: A spatula is the best tool for stir-frying. It allows you to easily move the food around the pan and prevents it from sticking.
  • Don't overcook the food: Chicken and vegetables should be cooked just until tender. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that the food is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken and asparagus teriyaki stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a quick and healthy dinner. With its tender chicken, crisp-tender asparagus, and flavorful teriyaki sauce, this stir-fry is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
