15 Minute Stir Fried Chicken Asparagus Recipes

ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Freeze the chicken breasts for 20 to 30 minutes and then thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips.

Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with the broth.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus, scallions, remaining garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of water, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until the asparagus is bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat the same skillet until very hot, then add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Return the asparagus to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a full boil to thicken. Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates; serve with rice.

TEN-MINUTE STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH NUTS

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large nonstick skillet (12 inches is best) over high heat; a minute later, add the vegetables in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to char a little on the bottom, about 1 minute. Stir and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add the chicken and stir once or twice. Again, cook until the bottom begins to blacken a bit, about a minute. Stir and cook for another minute; by this time the vegetables will have softened and the chicken will be done, or nearly so (cut into a piece to check). Lower the heat to medium.
• Stir in the nuts and the hoisin sauce. Cook for about 15 seconds, then add 2 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is bubbly and glazes all the chicken and vegetables. Serve immediately, with white rice.
• Substitute any vegetable, or combination, for the peppers and onions. Try cut-up and parboiled (simmered in boiling water just until slightly tender) broccoli, asparagus, green beans, or dark leafy greens; shredded raw cabbage; raw snow peas; or chopped tomatoes.
• Use any boneless meat in place of the chicken, or shrimp. or scallops. Cooking time will remain the same.
• Sprinkle the meat with about 1 tablespoon curry powder as it cooks.
• Along with the hoisin, add ground bean paste (about 1 tablespoon), plum sauce (about 1 tablespoon), or chili-garlic paste (about 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste) during the last minute of cooking.
• Replace the hoisin with 3 or 4 small dried hot red chiles (optional), 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1/2 cup chopped scallion, all added along with the nuts
• A flat-bottomed skillet-the larger the better and preferably nonstick-is better than a wok for stir-fries made at home. Keep the heat high and don't stir too much to ensure nicely browned, even slightly charred meat and vegetables.
• Keep it simple; too many ingredients slow you down and eventually overload the skillet so that browning becomes impossible.
