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.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy.
  • Season the asparagus well. Asparagus has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice are all good options.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and crisp.

Conclusion:

Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a main course, there is an asparagus recipe out there for you. With its fresh, springy flavor and numerous health benefits, asparagus is a great addition to any meal. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious vegetable to cook, give asparagus a try. You won't be disappointed!
