Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 1 teaspoon
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dry sherry
3/4 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade or water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody stems trimmed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
Serving suggestion: Brown or white rice

Steps:

  • Freeze the chicken breasts for 20 to 30 minutes and then thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips.

Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with the broth.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus, scallions, remaining garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of water, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until the asparagus is bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

PORK AND ASPARAGUS STIR-FRY



Pork and Asparagus Stir-Fry image

We jump on asparagus the second we see it at the market this time of year, but green beans, snap peas, or any other crisp green spring vegetable would also be great here.

Provided by Deb Perelman

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Stir-Fry     Pork     Asparagus     Green Onion/Scallion     Ginger     Soy Sauce     Sesame Oil     Tree Nut Free     Peanut Free     Kid-Friendly     Dairy Free     Quick & Easy     Spring

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tsp. peanut or vegetable oil, divided
2 lb. asparagus, trimmed, cut on a diagonal into (1"-2") pieces
Kosher salt
8 oz. ground pork
6 scallions, white and pale green parts only, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. Shaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine) or medium-dry sherry
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
Cooked rice and store-bought chili crisp (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tsp. peanut oil in a large skillet over high. Once pan is hot (oil will be lightly smoking), add half of asparagus and a couple pinches of salt and cook, tossing only once or twice so the pieces have a chance to blister, until crisp-tender and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a plate. Add 1 tsp. peanut oil to skillet (no need to wipe it out) and repeat process with remaining asparagus.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high; add remaining 1 tsp. peanut oil to skillet, then add pork, spreading out into an even layer. Season with a couple pinches of salt and cook, undisturbed, until meat begins to brown underneath, about 2 minutes. Break up meat with a wooden spoon and add scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring, until pork is crisp and mixture is very fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add wine and soy sauce and return asparagus to skillet. Cook, turning to coat with pork mixture, until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer stir-fry to a platter or large shallow bowl and drizzle with sesame oil. Serve with rice and chili crisp.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the asparagus, nuts, and garlic before you start cooking. This will save you time and ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips. Choose nuts that are roasted and unsalted.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry on high heat: High heat will help to sear the vegetables and give them a slightly charred flavor. Be sure to stir the vegetables constantly so that they cook evenly.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end will help to prevent it from burning.

Conclusion:

Asparagus nut stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with healthy vegetables and nuts, and it is sure to please everyone at the table.
