Directions

Cut chicken meat into thin slices, each about the size of a thumb nail, mix with a pinch of salt, then add egg white and finally the cornstarch paste.
Cut off and discard the tough stems of the asparagus. Diagonally cut the tender spears into short, even lengths.
In a wok or large pan, bring the chicken broth to a boil, add the asparagus and bring back to the boil, cooking for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken, stir to separate, and bring back to a boil once more. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve hot, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
