I find it a challenge to prepare vegetables so that they appeal to everyone...especially children. After tasting this special stir-fry, folks lean to love asparagus in no time. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided |
1 cup sliced celery |
4 cups fresh asparagus pieces |
1/2 cup sliced green onions |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch strips |
2 teaspoons grated orange peel |
1 garlic clove, minced |
4 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup water |
2 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Stir-fry celery over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add asparagus and onions; stir-fry for 3-5 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl; set aside. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Stir-fry chicken, orange peel and garlic for 3-4 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
2. Combine the cornstarch, water, orange juice, orange juice concentrate and soy sauce until smooth; stir into skillet along with reserved vegetables. Cook and stir for 3 minutes or until sauce is thickened and vegetables are heated through. Stir in almonds. Serve over rice. Yield: 6-8 servings.
