Preparation

Season the chicken with a few pinches of salt and freshly-cracked black pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Add chicken and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a separate plate, and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, and add the bell pepper, onion, and asparagus.

Saute for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the vegetables reach your desired level of doneness.

Add in the ginger, garlic, and pineapple, and toss to combine.

Saute for 1 to 2 more minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.

Add the chicken back in, then stir in the sauce and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until it has thickened, stirring occasionally.

Whisk the stock, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and sriracha in a small bowl until combined.

Serve warm, garnished with your desired toppings, and enjoy!
