Ingredients:

3 tablespoons soy sauce or gluten-free soy sauce

2 tablespoons mirin (found in the Asian foods section)

1/2 tablespoon honey

1/2 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 1/2 pounds skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Kosher salt, to taste

1 tbsp canola or grapeseed oil, divided

12 oz asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces

4 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions:

Whisk the soy sauce, mirin, honey and ginger and cornstarch in a small bowl; set aside.

Lightly season the chicken with salt.

Heat a large non-stick wok over medium-high heat, when hot add 1 teaspoon of the oil, then add the asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, about 6 to 7 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Set aside on a dish.

Increase the heat to high, then add 1 teaspoon of oil and half of the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Place everything back into the wok, pour the sauce over and cook stirring 30 to 60 seconds until the sauce thickens slightly.
