Tips for Making Amazing Stir Fry
Use a Wok. When you are cooking a stir fry the trick its to cook it at a very high temperature while stirring a lot. A wok really helps out with the cooking process, you can get one here for less than $30. Bite sized chicken. When you are cutting the chicken it is best to cut it into bitesized pieces. Not only will it cook faster but you don’t have to wait to enjoy it once you are done cooking. Fresh Asparagus. As much as I love frozen veggies and they have their place in my home but it is very important when making stir fry to use fresh vegetables.How to Trim Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cool water. Bend one of the asparagus pieces until the bottom snaps off. This is how you figure out what is the woody and that needs to be cut off. You can break off each end of each spear or you can lay the piece down on top of the rest of the bunch of asparagus and chop off about that same amount. Toss the asparagus ends and cook the spears.
Make it Keto!
This chicken asparagus stir fry is low carb just the way it is. However if you are eating a ketogenic diet and wanting a keto chicken stir fry switch out the cornstarch for xanthan gum and use olive oil instead of canola oil. Serve this easy chicken asparagus stir fry over cauliflower rice or enjoy as is.
