Asparagus Chicken Stir-Fry

Asparagus Chicken Stir-Fry

1/2 pound fresh asparagus
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil, divided
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into
thin 1-inch strips
Hot cooked rice


Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces, discarding tough
bottoms of spears.

In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce and
brown sugar and set aside.

Heat wok or large skillet over medium high heat.
When hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir fry asparagus
for approximately 2 minutes. Remove from the wok and
keep warm.

Heat wok to high heat. Add remaining 2 tbsp of oil
and the chicken pieces and stir fry until the chicken
is no longer pink. Add the reserved asparagus and
hoisin/sugar sauce and stir fry all together until
pieces are well-coated with sauce.

Serve over the hot rice.

Makes 2 servings.
