Ingredients




300 grams minced chicken
300 grams asparagus (or you can use zuchinni, cucumber, courgettes 
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon kecap manis (dark sweet soy sauce), or you can just use 2 teaspoons of 3 tablespoons Shaoxing Huaotiao wine
1 teaspoon to 2  sugar
A handful of fresh basil leaves
Sliced fresh chili
2 teaspoons Cornflour + Water (optional)

Preparation

1 Cut off the hard ends of the asparagus and cut the asparagus into half. 2 Get the chicken mince ready. If you mince your own, make sure it’s very thoroughly chopped up. 3 Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to a hot wok. 4 Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and stir fry for 20 seconds. 5 Add the asparagus. Stir for a minute until it starts to change colours. 6 Add the minced chicken and stir fry quickly. 7 Add 1.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce. 8 Add 1 tablespoon of kecap manis, OR 2 teaspoons of dark soy sauce. 9 Add 3 tablespoon of Shaoxing Huatiao wine. 10 Stir-fry evenly. And then add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar to taste. 11 Toss in the basil leaves. 12 Stir fry for a good minute until the vegetables are cooked. Then add in sliced chili. We like to use chili padi. 13 If the vegetables emit too much water and the gravy is runny, then mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of cornflour with twice the amount of water and add to the sauce, stirring quickly. This will thicken the gravy. 14 Serve this as it is with rice or over a large egg omelette.
