Chicken with Black Bean Sauce

I love the combination of fresh ginger and sesame oil, so when I saw this recipe I knew it would be great for a quick week night meal that was also satisfying. Serve with a side of brown rice for a complete meal in no time.

Ingredients:

• 4 teaspoons Asian (ark) sesame oil
• 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1 bunch of asparagus, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 3 tablespoons black bean sauce with garlic

Directions:

1. Heat nonstick wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; when the pan is very hot, add 2 teaspoons oil. 
2. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and add to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate.
3. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in pan. Add ginger and cook. stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Add asparagus and 3 tablespoons of water; cook covered until asparagus is crisp and tender, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Stir in black bean sauce and add chicken. Cook, stirring, until chicken is heater through.
