Here's another easy stir fry recipe using chicken breast, which now might be my family's new favorite dish.
Last weekend I went to the wholesale market and bought quite a large portion of chicken breasts. I have been spending the last 4 days trying to consume everything by making sure my kids are not bored with the taste and of course that it's easy for me to cook!
I always think that the key to having healthy eating habits is to make cooking very easy and low effort.
This recipe is a good example of the above concept.
You can whip up it up in only in 11 minutes with very simple ingredients and condiments, but it's still healthy and tasty.
I hope you and your loved ones will enjoy!

Variations
Red peppers or broccoli can be used as a substitution for asparagus.
Suggestions
・Slice the chicken into about 1-1.5cm pieces, so that it will cook faster.
・You just need a nice color in step 3, the chicken doesn't have to be fully cooked at this point.
・Rice wine and potato starch will protect the moisture inside of the chicken.
・Depending on which chicken stock powder you are using the sodium content will differ. Please adjust the taste with salt as a finishing touch.
・You can swap onions for leek.
<Storage time>
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
