Wok-Seared Chicken with Asparagus & Pistachios

Modified: Jun 15, 2021 · Published: Mar 27, 2008 by Anna · This post may contain affiliate links · 10 Comments

Tonight I tried a new recipe from Eating Well. It was a little too spicy for Fuzz due to that liquid fire they call "Sriracha", but Todd loved it so I thought I’d post a picture.

I served this with plain white rice, but Eating Well suggests “a simple salad of arugula and orange sections dressed in a light vinaigrette”. Maybe next time. I think it would have to be in addition to the rice.

Chicken With Asparagus

Wok-Seared Chicken with Asparagus & Pistachios from Eating Well

1 tablespoon (15 ml) toasted sesame oil
1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound (450 grams) chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (30 ml) minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon (15 ml) oyster-flavored sauce
1 teaspoon (1 ml) chile-garlic sauce (I used sriracha)
¼ cup shelled salted pistachios (30 grams), coarsely chopped

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add asparagus; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook, chicken and asparagus together, stirring, for another 4 minutes. Stir in scallions, ginger, oyster sauce and chile-garlic sauce; cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in pistachios and serve immediately.

    I just made this, so yummy! A few substitutions, I added a tsp soy sauce and I used some minced garlic in with my ginger (paste) and skipped the chile sauce cause of the kids and added cashews instead of pistachios cause that's what I had.

    This is one of my favorite Eating Well recipes. I'm funny about asparagus, too. Sometimes I really like it, sometimes I don't at all. This is one recipe where I really like. Probably because I'll eat anything with Sriacha.

    I find that all veggies I used to hate have been made palatable by evoo, salt, pepper, and then put under the broiler or at high heat so it gets caramelized and crunchy. mmmm. I've convinced our family to eat brussel sprouts this way also.

    I love asparagus, but my husband hates it. He usually tolerates my efforts to feed him veggies, but asparagus is the one vegetable that makes him complain so much that I find it not even worth the effort to try serving it to him. I think I'll make some for myself sometime soon though, he works long hours this time of year as an accountant. I think this recipe looks great.

    Claire, asparagus is about $2.99 a pound here in Austin. It usually goes down to about $1.99.

    Susan, I hope you like the dish. It's amazing how much flavor oyster sauce adds.

    Wow, that looks real tasty! I feel the same about asparagus; I did like it when we once tried grilling it (sprinkled salt, pepper, garlic powder and a bit of canola oil). I'm going to try this tomorrow night since we happen to have all these ingredients in the fridge right now.

    This looks absolutely delicious! I LOVE asaparagus and it's at a reasonable price right now. I am tagging this to try. 🙂
