Seared Chicken With Asparagus and Pistachios


It's already time for fresh asparagus! I found some nice thin asparagus to use in this recipe and it worked nicely, very tender.

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 - 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus (tough ends trimmed, cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into strips or bite size pieces
4 green onions (trimmed and sliced using some of the green tops)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon oyster-flavored sauce
1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce
1/4 cup shelled salted pistachios (coarsely chopped)

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