Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 3 tablespoonshoney (I prefer a spicy honey!)
  2. Black pepper (original recipe called for a ton, I say "to taste.")
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 2 tablespoonsall-purpose flour
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoonsground turmeric
  6. 1 poundboneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  7. 1 tablespoonolive oil
  8. 12 ouncesasparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on an angle
  9. 1 teaspoonunseasoned rice vinegar
  10. 1lime, cut into wedges (optional)
  11. 1 pkgrice noodles

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together 1/4 cup water with the honey, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set honey mixture aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, turmeric and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken and toss until coated.

  3. 3

    Prepare rice noodles per package directions.

  4. 4

    In a medium nonstick skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook until the turmeric is fragrant and the chicken is golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the asparagus, season with salt, stir to combine and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the honey mixture and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss with noodles. Serve with lime squeezed over top, if you like.
