Chilli chicken with asparagus
By Izo | July 16, 2008
Tired of using chicken just for stir-fries and roasts? Try this easy, low-GI chicken main for dinner tonight.
Cooking Time 2 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1/3 cup oyster sauce
- 1/3 cup sweet chilli sauce
- 500g fresh thick rice noodles (see note)
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 600g chicken breast fillets, trimmed, thinly sliced
- 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed, cut into 5cm lengths
- 1 long red chilli, deseeded, thinly sliced lengthways
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 bunch baby bok choy, trimmed, leaves and stems separated, thinly sliced
Method
Combine oyster sauce and sweet chilli sauce in a jug. Place noodles in a large, heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 1 minute. Drain. Separate noodles and set aside.
Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add 2 teaspoons peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add half the chicken and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with 2 teaspoons peanut oil and remaining chicken.
Add remaining peanut oil to wok. Add asparagus, chilli, garlic and sesame oil. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add noodles, bok choy stems, chicken and combined sauces. Stir-fry for 1 minute or until heated through. Add bok choy leaves. Stir-fry for 15 seconds or until leaves wilted. Serve.
Notes & tips
Note: Fresh thick rice noodles are best bought fresh off the shelf in Asian grocery stores and used within 7 days.
