Ingredients

Marinade

1 pound skinless boneless chicken thigh sliced into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

Sauce

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1/4 cup chicken stock or water

Ingredients

5 garlic cloves minced
1 pound asparagus (end trimmed and sliced on a sharp angle into 2-inch pieces)
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the chicken marinade ingredients. Cover and set aside to marinate while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
Heat a large pan on medium-high heat then add about a tablespoon of oil. Add in asparagus and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the asparagus is tender but still crunchy. Remove and set aside.
Add in chicken and cook until it’s about 80% done, then add in garlic and cook for a few more seconds.
Pour in the sauce and cook until the sauce starts to thicken and the chicken is cooked through.
Mix asparagus back in, drizzle on sesame oil, then mix. Remove from the heat and enjoy!

Notes

Cornstarch: This simple pantry ingredient helps tenderize the chicken during the short marinate.
Important Prep: This recipe comes together quickly so make sure to have all your ingredients ready before turning on the stove. You don't want the food to burn when you're scrambling to get things together.
