ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
• 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and sliced thinly
• 1 tablespoon garlic, grated
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1/3 cup chicken broth (link)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/3 cup cashews
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

directions

1. Heat the oil in a wok, or large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the chicken and stir-fry until cooked, about 3-5 minutes, before setting aside.
2. Add the asparagus and stir-fry until it starts to turn a dark green, about 2 minutes.
3. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Add the chicken back to the pan, along with the mixture of the broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch, mix and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
5. Add the cashews and green onions, mix and cook for a minute.
6. Mix in the sesame oil and enjoy!

Note: Add extra oil if needed.
Option: Velvet the chicken by marinating it in the mixture of 1 egg white, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (optional), and 1 tablespoon cornstarch for 1-2 hours, covered in the fridge. This will tenderize the chicken and make it melt in your mouth
