1-2 scallions, sliced on a bias
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Soy sauce
1 Tbsp Corn starch
Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
sesame seeds (optional)

1. Marinate sliced chicken with soy sauce, corn starch, salt, and 1 clove of minced garlic in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, and saute until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the asparagus and set aside.
3. Remove chicken from marinade, and add to skillet. Saute until nearly cooked through (with the insides still slightly pink), about 5 minutes.
4. Then add rest of garlic, scallions, and the reserved marinade to the pan. Saute for an additional 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the garlic is fragrant.
5. Serve  dish over steamed rice. garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
