CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- Heat oil in large, heavy skillet over moderate heat 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, marjoram, thyme, and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the juice released from the mushrooms evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Add chicken, alfredo sauce, and wine; adjust heat so mixture bubbles gently, then cook, stirring frequently and breaking up chicken, until steaming, about 3 minutes.
- Add asparagus, distributing evenly over surface of mixture, cover and cook just until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes; no longer or asparagus will become mushy.
- Make a bed of rice on heated deep platter, spoon chicken mixture on top, and serve.
- Bring water to rapid boil in large (at least 4 1/2-quart), heavy saucepan over high heat.
- Add rice, stir well, and then return to rapid boil. Adjust heat so water stays at gentle but steady ripple and cook uncovered until all water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Do not stir.
- Fluff rice gently with fork and cool 1 hour. Do not cover.
- Fluff rice gently again, then spoon lightly, do not pack, into plastic storage containers, snap on lids, label, and date. Set in refrigerator or freezer.
- To reheat refrigerated or frozen rice, pile rice in large fine sieve, fork lightly apart and balance sieve in top of large, heavy saucepan over 2-inches boiling water. Cover loosely with lid or foil and steam until just heated through, 3 to 5 minutes, but times will vary according to amount of rice being reheated and whether it's refrigerated or frozen. Fluff with fork and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the scallion whites, sugar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, about half the garlic, half the ginger, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/3 cup water in a small bowl and reserve.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and heat. Add the broccoli stems and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the florets and the remaining garlic and ginger, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Stir-fry until the broccoli is bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Get the skillet good and hot again, and then heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the chicken and red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry until the chicken loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce, return the broccoli to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil to thicken. Add more water if need to thin the sauce, if necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates and garnish with sesame seeds; serve with rice.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meats and cheeses.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in soggy, undercooked food.
- Season your food well: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt and pepper. Salt helps to enhance the flavor of other ingredients, and pepper adds a bit of spice. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs, to taste.
- Cook the pasta al dente: When cooking pasta, cook it al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when you add it to the sauce.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: If you're using store-bought Alfredo sauce, choose a good quality brand. Look for a sauce that is made with real cream and cheese, and avoid sauces that are made with artificial ingredients.
- Garnish your dish: Before serving, garnish your dish with fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
