Ingredients
- 5 kg chicken breasts, skin and bone removed, and diced to 2.5 cm-thick cubes

- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or grape seed oil
- 1 bunch asparagus, chopped

Instructions
- Lightly salt the chicken. In a small bowl, add the soy sauce and chicken stock, then in another small bowl, add the corn starch and water and mix well.

- Bring the heat to high and add 1 teaspoon oil and half the amount of chicken. Cook well for 4 minutes until brown, then remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
