Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 lb of chicken tenders or 2 pieces of chicken breasts – cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 lb asparagus – sliced diagonally
- 1.5 tbsp honey or more for a sweeter taste
For the sauce:
- 2 tbsp of Season with Spice’s Korean BBQ Blend or 1/2 tbsp more if you like it spicy!
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp rice wine or mirin
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp water or broth
Instructions
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Coat the chicken pieces with a tablespoon of the sauce and let marinate for at least 10-15 minutes.
- In a wok or large frying pan, heat a tablespoon of oil until hot. Add in the chicken, spread it out in a single layer and let sear for about 2 minutes, or until the edges are lightly brown. Turn chicken over do the same. Dish out and set aside.
- With the same wok/pan, heat another tablespoon of oil. Add in the asparagus (the harder stem pieces first) and stir-fry for about a minute over medium-high heat.
- Then add in the spear tops, and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add in small splashes of water as you cook if it gets too dry.
- Once the asparagus pieces are tender-crisp, add in the cooked chicken and the sauce, and toss everything together over high heat. Stir in honey. Toss, and taste to adjust any seasoning/ liquid/ honey, if needed.
- Cook until the sauce caramelizes, and the dish is steamy hot – just about a minute or two. Serve hot with steamed rice. Enjoy!
