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.

SPICY WOK-CHARRED SNOW PEAS
High-heat stir-fries are ideal for peas - either snow peas or the sugar snap variety. Assertive seasoning and the slight charring from the wok complement the peas' sweetness wonderfully. The method works well for other spring vegetables, too, like asparagus or baby bok choy clusters. Use a wide cast -iron pan if you don't have a wok. Take care to avoid overcooking; the peas should be a vibrant green color and firm to the bite.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Slicing the snow peas and asparagus, mincing the garlic and ginger, and measuring out the sauce ingredients will help the stir-fry come together quickly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Heat the oil over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on the snow peas and asparagus.
- Stir-fry the ingredients in batches: If you overcrowd the skillet, the ingredients will steam instead of stir-fry.
- Add the sauce towards the end of cooking: This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
This snow pea and asparagus stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of snow peas, asparagus, and mushrooms provides a variety of flavors and textures, while the ginger-soy sauce adds a delicious umami flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
