So I don't know this guy, but he is an awesome singer and fantastic guitar player so I felt like I had to share him with the world (credit to bozo).

Cooking Adventures - Chicken & Asparagus Stir-Fry

Lately I have been inspired to try cooking new things. A few weekends ago I had to work on Saturday, got extremely bored and started looking up recipes online. I found one similar to the one below, changed it around a little, and made it my own. Using the roomie as a test dummy I cooked then wrote the recipe you see below and it turned out pretty great. Delicious, in fact. Feel free to test it out :)

Chicken & Asparagus Stir Fry

3 regular Chicken breasts
1 bunch Asparagus
2 packs Yakisoba Noodles (or 2-3 cups rice)
¾ cup Cashew nuts
1 Tbs finely chopped fresh Basil
1 Tbs chopped Chives (Green Onion)
Stir Fry Sauce (Used Kikkoman Stir Fry Sauce)
Vegetable Oil
Chili Oil (or Cayenne for a tiny bit of spice)
Salt

Directions:

1. Slice chicken into inch (ish) sized pieces and put in bowl. Coat with Stir Fry Sauce and set aside in bowl
2. Roast cashew nuts in small pot until warm. Be sure to keep them moving so they don’t burn. It takes about 5-8 minutes. Once warm set aside in bowl. Leave burner on and put water in pot on medium heat
3. Slice asparagus into approx inch long pieces and add to pot of water with some salt. Let boil/heat for about 4 minutes. Drain and run cool water over them. Set aside.
4. Put a bit of vegetable oil in pan and heat on med-high. Put chicken in until cooked.
5. Add chopped chives and basil to pan and mix in.
6. Once cooked add Yakisoba Noodles (note, you can choose to serve with rice, and use that instead). Add more Stir Fry Sauce (¼ to ½ cup) to noodles and chicken. Stir in until noodles are soft (*the noodles may have separate directions that you need to follow before they are added to the pot, mine had to be covered in warm water for a minute).
7. Add cashews and asparagus and mix in.
8. Serve hot and enjoy ☺
