How to Make 15 Minute Stir Fried Chicken Asparagus

  1. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic. Let sit for 5 minutes to enhance flavor.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of chicken broth in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced onion and asparagus. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, until asparagus is slightly tender-crisp.
  4. Add the minced garlic, ground ginger, and chicken. Continue stir-frying for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Cover the wok or skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender. Add a couple more minutes if asparagus is thick.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
