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.

Return the asparagus to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a full boil to thicken.

This is a delicious stir-fry recipe and a really quick and easy dinner. Although the original recipe calls for asparagus, I have used fresh green beans (cut into 1-inch pieces) in place of the asparagus.

Tips:

  • Prep work: Ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured before starting to cook. Cut the chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking. Asparagus should be trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces diagonally for better texture.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes tenderizes the meat and enhances the flavor.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok distributes heat evenly and prevents food from sticking. If you don't have a wok, use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • High heat: Stir-fries require high heat to create the characteristic smoky flavor and crispy texture. Make sure your wok or pan is very hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the ingredients continuously prevents them from burning and ensures even cooking. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to toss and stir the ingredients.
  • Add vegetables in stages: Add vegetables with different cooking times in stages. Start with vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots or broccoli, and then add softer vegetables like asparagus and bell peppers towards the end.
  • Sauce it up: Stir-fries typically have a flavorful sauce. Combine soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, and other seasonings in a bowl and add it to the wok or pan towards the end of cooking.
  • Garnish and serve: Garnish the stir-fry with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
