| 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
- 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.
