Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces.
Peel and mince the ginger and garlic.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the pan, season with black pepper, and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the pan and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and asparagus and stir well to coat.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately, either on its own or over steamed rice.
