Wok-Seared Chicken Tenders with Asparagus & Pistachios

 

Here's an East-meets-West stir-fry that will soon become a family favorite. Serve it over rice or noodles, with a simple salad of arugula and orange sections dressed in a light vinaigrette.

Prep Time:25 minutes
Ready in:25 minutes
Yield:4 servings, about 1 1/4 cups each
Ease of Prep:Easy
Recipe Ingredients
 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus , tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
 1 pound chicken tenders (see Ingredient Note), cut into bite-size pieces
 4 scallions , trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
 1 tablespoon oyster-flavored sauce
 1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (see Ingredient Note)
 1/4 cup shelled salted pistachios , coarsely chopped


Recipe Directions
  1. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add asparagus; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Stir in scallions, ginger, oyster sauce and chile-garlic sauce; cook, stirring, until the chicken is juicy and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in pistachios and serve immediately.

Ingredient Notes: Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders
will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded "chicken fingers."

Chile-garlic sauce is a blend of ground red chiles, garlic and vinegar and is commonly used to add heat and flavor to Asian soups, sauces and stir-fries. It can be found in the Asian-food section of large supermarkets. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.

Health Advantages: low calorie, low carb, low sat fat, low sodium, heart healthy, healthy weight.

It isn't that it is hard. but very time eating. You would have to cut it out of at least four or five different colors and then piece it together. I suggest using tweezers.
