2 tablespoonswater
1 tablespoonhoney
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoonfish sauce
1/2 tablespoonsriracha
Instructions
Cook rice: Prepare your rice according to package directions in water or broth (I use a rice cooker and chicken broth for mine).
Make sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a mason jar or small bowl and mix until completely combined.
Cook stir fry: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes or until the chicken pieces are about halfway cooked. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and asparagus to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes more, stirring frequently, until the asparagus are bright green yet still firm and the chicken is cooked through. Reduce heat to medium low. Add the sauce and the frozen peas. Stir until everything is evenly coated in sauce, and sauce begins to bubble. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve & store: Serve immediately with rice, or portion rice and stir fry into four airtight containers and enjoy within 4 days.
