How to Make Asparagus Chicken Stir Fry

  1. Trim the tough ends from the asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat.
  4. Add the asparagus and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
  5. Remove the asparagus from the wok and set aside.
  6. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Increase heat to high.
  7. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink.
  8. Return the asparagus to the wok. Pour the hoisin-sugar sauce over the chicken and asparagus.
  9. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until the chicken and asparagus are well-coated and heated through.
  10. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.
