Ingredients

CHICKEN

  • 1/2 lb.

    pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced 1⁄4 inch thick

  • 1 Tbsp.

    cornstarch

  • 2 tsp.

    dry sherry

  • 1/2 tsp.

    kosher salt vegetable oil

  • 1 Tbsp.

    vegetable oil

SAUCE

  • 1/2 cup

    low-sodium chicken broth

  • 2 Tbsp.

    oyster sauce

  • 2 tsp.

    dry sherry

  • 1 1/2 tsp.

    cornstarch

  • 1 tsp.

    soy sauce

  • 1 tsp.

    toasted sesame oil

  • 1/2 tsp.

    sugar

STIR-FRY

  • 2 Tbsp.

    vegetable oil

  • 1 Tbsp.

    minced fresh ginger

  • 3

    garlic cloves, minced

  • 2

    scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated

  • 1 lb.

    thin asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 2

    carrots, sliced 1⁄4 inch thick

  • Kosher salt, to taste

  • Cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

    1. Step 1For the chicken: Toss the chicken, cornstarch, sherry and salt in a bowl until well coated. Add the vegetable oil and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes.
    2. Step 2For the sauce: Whisk the broth, oyster sauce, sherry, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a small bowl until the cornstarch and sugar dissolve.
    3. Step 3For the stir-fry: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken in a single layer; cook 30 seconds without moving, then toss until opaque but still pink inside, 20 to 30 more seconds. Remove to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and repeat with the remaining chicken; remove to the same plate.
    4. Step 4Add the ginger, garlic and scallion whites to the drippings in the skillet. Stir for a few seconds, then add the asparagus and carrots. Cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
    5. Step 5Stir the sauce well, then add to the skillet. Return the chicken to the pan and toss until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Season with salt, if needed. Serve with rice and garnish with the scallion greens.
