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.

ASPARAGUS, CABBAGE AND CHICKEN OR CHICKEN STIR-FRY
Whipped this one up randomly one night and it turned out great. Over did the heat a bit with the pepper flake, but even so it was quite good. I left the extra heat in the recipe, but feel free to halve or more if you don't like too much heat.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and crisp asparagus and cabbage. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Cabbage should be heavy for its size and have leaves that are tightly packed.
- Cut the asparagus and cabbage into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Marinate the chicken in a flavorful sauce. This will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor.
- Use a hot wok or skillet. This will help to quickly sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
- Stir-fry the chicken and vegetables in batches. This will prevent the wok or skillet from becoming overcrowded and the ingredients from steaming instead of frying.
- Season the stir-fry to taste. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, or other seasonings as desired.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Asparagus, cabbage, and chicken stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that can be easily made at home.
