2 tablespoons

1 tablespoon

long-grain rice

 

3 cups 

 

chicken broth

 

2 tablespoons

1

In a medium-size bowl, beat the egg white, sherry, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Add the chicken and stir to coat.

2

Heat the oil in a deep 12-inch skillet over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink on the outside -- about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

3

Add the scallions, carrots, rice, stock, and soy sauce to the skillet. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.

4

Return the chicken to the skillet, add the asparagus, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the chicken is no longer pink on the inside -- 10 minutes more. Sprinkle the walnuts on top.
