From my collection of handwritten recipes. Ingredients:
1/2 lb fresh asparagus |
1/2 lb skinless chicken breast (boneless) |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest |
1 tablespoon oil |
1 tablespoon ginger, minced |
1 scallion, minced |
2 tablespoons dry sherry |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
2 teaspoons sesame oil |
Directions:
1. Trim tough ends of asparagus. Cut spears at an angle into 1 1/2 pieces. Cut chicken breast crosswise on an angle into 1/4 slices. In a small bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch, soy, and lemon zest. In a wok, heat oil 10 seconds over medium high heat. Add asparagus and stir fry to coat with oil. Add 2 Tblsp. water, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until asparagus is just tender, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove asparagus to a plate. Return wok to high heat. Add ginger and scallion and stir fry until aromatic, about 10 seconds. Add chicken and stir fry until white and opaque throughout, about 5 minutes. Add sherry, pepper, sugar, and asparagus. Stir fry about 30 seconds to heat through. Remove from heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and serve.
