Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) chicken breast
- 1 bunch (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces) asparagus
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon (minced) ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
- 0.5 teaspoon (optional) red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the skillet. Toss in minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to tenderize but still retain their crunch.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture.
Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss to combine, and remove from heat.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
