TURMERIC-BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS



Turmeric-Black Pepper Chicken With Asparagus image

In this sweet and spicy stir-fry, black pepper, honey and rice vinegar help accentuate turmeric's delightfully earthy qualities. Thinly sliced asparagus doesn't need much time to cook, but feel free to swap with any other vegetables that cook in just a few minutes, like thinly sliced green beans, frozen peas or baby spinach. Serve this with rice or rice vermicelli noodles, or tuck it into a lettuce cup or pita with yogurt and fresh herbs. You could also trade the chicken for tofu, shrimp or cubed pork shoulder.

ASPARAGUS CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Asparagus Chicken With Black Bean Sauce image

This is a very tasty family favourite that I've slightly modified from the original which came from a great cookbook called Thai Cooking and More. NOTE #1 Just so there's no confusion, this recipe uses a prepared Chinese Black Bean Sauce, NOT your regular black beans. This can be found with the ethnic foods at your local grocer, usually where you find soy sauce, etc. This is also where you'll find the hot chili paste; my preference is Sombel Oelek NOTE #2 Prep time includes 30 minute marinating time.

Yield Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
