Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 lb Asparagus
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Peel and finely grate the ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water to create the ginger sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the asparagus pieces and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the asparagus. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Pour the ginger sauce over the chicken and asparagus. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and vegetables.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve the stir fry immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
