Step 1

Slice your chicken breast thinly, then toss it with soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and a tiny bit of baking soda. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, while you prepare everything else.

Step 2

Snap off the asparagus where the woody end stops. Slice the rest diagonally. Halve any thick ones so they cook evenly. And also mince a few cloves of garlic and slice your onion thinly. Separate the onion layers so they cook quickly in the pan.

Step 3

Heat a bit of oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and stir fry for a minute, then sprinkle a pinch of salt. Add the onion and toss for another minute. Remove from the pan and set them aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add more oil. Sear the chicken slices on one side, then add minced garlic and cook until the chicken is 80% cooked.

Step 5

Add the cooked asparagus and onions back to the pan and toss everything together until everything is coated and glossy. Drizzle with a little sesame oil before turning off the heat.
