Asparagus Chicken Stir Fry

Since I've been slacking in my posting, I thought I should pump out another post in less than a week.

This meal is great for a dinner for two, and that's exactly why I made it. I had it without any rice and ate it as is, but the other person had it over rice. It turned out marvelous both ways.

The hardest part of this was finding fresh ginger at my grocery store. I was walking around the produce section searching high and low, but to no avail. I had to get it from somewhere else. So if you can easily find fresh ginger, then this recipe will be a breeze.
