Thai Chicken Asparagus Recipes

CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Mix the chicken with cornstarch. Mix all the ingredients for the Sauce in a small bowl, stir to combine well. Set both aside.
• Heat up a skillet with the oil. Saute the garlic until aromatic. Add the chicken and stir-fry back and forth until the surface turns opaque. Add the asparagus and continue to stir-fry, for about 1 minute. Add the Sauce into the skillet. As soon as it thickens, dish out and serve immediately.

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. Toss the strips with about half the garlic and ginger, the soy sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the sherry in a bowl. 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.

THAI CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• In a nonstick 12-inch skillet, bring 1 inch of water and salt to a boil over high heat. Add asparagus; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, 3 to 5 minutes, until asparagus is tender-crisp. Drain asparagus; set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
• In a medium bowl, mix sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and soy sauce. Stir in chicken until evenly coated. (Coat chicken just before cooking, because the lime juice will change the meat's texture.).
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet; place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken; cook 5 minutes or just until it loses its pink color throughout, stirring occasionally. With tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a clean bowl, leaving any cooking liquid in the skillet.
• Add onion, ginger and jalapenos to the skillet; cook until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add onion mixture to the bowl with the cooked chicken.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat until hot. Add asparagus; cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return onion mixture and chicken to skillet; heat through.
• Toss basil and cilantro leaves with chicken mixture just before serving.

PAD KRAPOW GAI (THAI BASIL CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high, then swirl in the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground chicken and cook, actively breaking the chicken up into small pieces, until it is mostly cooked, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, sugar and chile until evenly distributed and fragrant, about 2 minutes, then add the green beans, oyster sauce, fish sauce and Thai seasoning, and cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is fully cooked, the green beans are crisp-tender and the krapow is glossy, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add the basil and a dash of white pepper and toss to combine. If the sauce seems to cling too tightly to the mixture, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to make it loose and glossy.
• Serve over rice, and top with a crispy fried egg, if desired. Serve with additional Thai seasoning to sprinkle on top, according to taste.
