Ingredients
Marinade
- 1 pound chicken thigh sliced into bite-size pieces, skinless, boneless
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine

- Heat a large pan on medium-high heat then add about a tablespoon of oil. Add in asparagus and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the asparagus is tender but still crunchy. Remove and set aside.
- Add in chicken and cook until it’s about 80% done, then add in garlic and cook for a few more seconds.
