Instructions
Creating Chicken Asparagus Stir-Fry is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Thinly slice the chicken breast against the grain and season with salt and black pepper.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Stir until well blended.
3. Heat the Pan: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the pan and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add Asparagus: Add the asparagus pieces and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
7. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and asparagus, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
8. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
9. Finish with Sesame Oil: If desired, drizzle sesame oil on top before serving for added flavor.
10. Serve Immediately: Turn off the heat and serve the stir-fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.
