Zest of 1 lemon
tablespoonLemon Juice
1tablespoonHoney
2tablespoonsCorn Flour
1 ½cupWater or Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1teaspoonToasted Sesame Oil
Instructions
Stir together all the ingredients mentioned under sauce and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add ginger and garlic. Stir fry for a minute or two till fragrant and add the chicken pieces.
Cook the chicken on medium high heat for 4-5 minutes till light brown on either side, and cooked through. Add the asparagus to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Give the sauce a quick stir to dissolve the cornflour properly and add it to the pan. Keep stirring while the sauce comes to a boil and thickens up. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes till it evenly coats the chicken and asparagus, and mix in the toasted sesame oil. Check for seasoning and turn off the flame. Serve immediately.
Notes
If the sauce is too thick, increase the amount of water or broth slightly
Feel free to swap the cornflour for potato starch. I've tried both and they both work well
