Steps
Step 1
Mix together the ingredients for the paste. Set aside.
Step 2
Cook rice according to instructions provided and set aside.
Step 3
Prep the chicken by cutting it into small pieces. I recommend to NOT add salt or pepper before cooking to prevent over-seasoning since miso is VERY salty and ginger is pretty fragrant.
Step 4
Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat, once hot spray with a little avocado oil, then add chicken breast and ginger. Let the chicken rest in the skillet for 2 -3 minutes to lock in a rich sear, then begin stirring in the skillet.
Step 5
Then add asparagus and mushrooms. Continue stirring everything together and cook for about 3 – 5 minutes. To help soften the asparagus, you can cover the skillet for about 2 minutes to create steam – just make sure it is not burning/sticking.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low-medium, then add the paste and let it melt all over the ingredients. Remove the skillet from the heat and continue folding everything in the paste.
Step 7
Lastly, add the rice. IF YOU ARE DOING KETO, enjoy with steamed cauliflower rice. Otherwise, add cooked brown rice. Mix everything together.
Step 8
Garnish and enjoy! Season to taste with low sodium soy sauce and/or fresh lime or lemon.
