Ingredients
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tbsp honey
- ¾ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp powdered turmeric
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thigh, cut in 1 inch (2–3 cm) pieces
- 1–3 tbsp coconut or neutral oil
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on the bias
- Kosher salt
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 ea. lime, juiced
Method
- Combine the water, honey, pepper, and salt to make the sauce. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, turmeric, and salt together. Sprinkle over the chicken, and immediately toss to coat the chicken well.
- Heat the oil in your pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook, tossing as needed, until golden brown all over. If it starts darkening too quickly, lower the heat.
- Add the asparagus to the pan, and season with a pinch of salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Note that the asparagus will continue cooking.
- Stir in the prepared sauce, and simmer everything until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your taste (about 2–3 minutes).
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the rice vinegar and lime juice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, vinegar, and lime to taste.
