Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 quarts water
1 large whole chicken breast, skinned, boned and halved
Water and white wine or vermouth
1 1/3 pounds asparagus
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
4 teaspoons minced garlic in oil
5 tablespoons Chinese sesame paste
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese sesame oil
2 teaspoons hot sesame (chili) oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
