I had an extra zucchini and tossed that in the stir fry as well. It’s not the best stir fry, but it’s not a bad start to add in extra flavors.

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 tablespoon minced ginger (from fresh, peeled ginger root)

1 small bunch asparagus, woody bottoms removed

2 cups broccoli florets, chopped small

2 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1-1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)

3 scallions, sliced

2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided

1/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock

 

Heat the garlic on medium low in the sesame oil just for a minute, until it is golden and fragrant, but not burnt.

Cook for about 5 minutes, to allow to steam.

 

Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, honey and scallions.

 

Remove the lid of the pot and put the vegetables in a bowl.
