Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth, undiluted
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp dry sherry
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp dark sesame oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 lb fresh asparagus spears
vegetable cooking spray
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp peeled, minced gingerroot
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp water
1/2 cup julienne-sliced sweet red pepper
1/2 cup canned sliced water chestnuts, drained
3 green onions, sliced

Directions:

Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until cornstarch dissolves. Stir in sherry and next 5 ingredients. Set aside.
Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from stalks with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Cut asparagus diagonally into 2-inch pieces.
Coat a wok with cooking spray; drizzle 1 teaspoon vegetable oil around top of wok, coating sides. Heat at medium-high (375°) until hot. Add gingerroot and garlic; stir-fry 10 seconds. Add asparagus; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water, cooking until water evaporates. Add red pepper and water chestnuts; stir-fry 1 minute.
Add chicken broth mixture and green onions to wok; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or until mixture is thickened. Serve immediately.
