Here is a quick and easy asparagus chicken stir-fry recipe that is worth including in your regular dinner rotation. It is easy to prepare, a balanced meal by itself, and cooked with only the commonly available seasoning in the kitchen pantry,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although asparagus is not the most common vegetable in Chinese cooking, the cooking method is the same as any stir-fry dish in the typical Chinese family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use chicken thigh meat because it tastes better than breast meat for stir-frying. All you need is to marinate the chicken with some light soy sauce and other standard seasonings and stir-fry with the asparagus.\u00a0 The result is best with a well-seasoned cast iron wok to bring out the wok aroma. A heavy bottom skillet or a large frying pan is equally suitable for stir-frying if you don\u2019t have a good wok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also suggest using peanut oil or palm oil instead of olive oil or butter to get the authentic Asian taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to prepare asparagus chicken stir-fry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I will break down the recipe into a few steps, which I will explain in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Marinate the chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My preferred chicken meat is chicken thigh fillet, as it has more fat content and is more forgiving if overcooked. However, if you use chicken breast meat, note that you should not overcook it as its texture will become tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove the skin if you use chicken thigh fillet. Cut the meat into bite-size, about one-inch length, then place it in a mixing bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients for the marinade<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I use a set of typical ingredients for Cantonese cooking to marinate the chicken. These ingredients are also suitable to use for pork and beef for other similar stir-fry dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
