The crisp onions turn sweet and delicious in this dish. Even with just one chicken breast, it's hearty and filling! Recipe background: I wanted to see if a single chicken breast could be enough for a main dish.

Steps

1

Peel the asparagus lightly with a vegetable peeler. It's easier if you hold it about 2 inches (5 cm) from the top. The photo shows the peeled asparagus.
2

Trim about 1/2 inch (1 cm) from the base of the asparagus, then cut into 2/3-inch (1.5 cm) pieces. Cut the onions into thin wedges, about 1/8 inch (2–3 mm) thick.
3

Slice the chicken breast diagonally into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick pieces, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then coat with potato starch. Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
4

Heat a frying pan and add the vegetable oil. Stir-fry the chicken over medium heat.
5

When the chicken is about 80% cooked, add the asparagus and continue stir-frying until the asparagus turns a deep green.
6

Once the asparagus is bright green, add the onions and keep stir-frying.
7

When the white part of the onions turns semi-transparent, turn off the heat. Pour in the mixed sauce, then return to medium heat and stir everything together.
8

Once the sauce is evenly distributed, turn off the heat. Adjust the flavor with salt and pepper, and it's ready to serve.
