Preparation steps

In a bowl, mix together the garlic, chilli, shallot, cumin, coriander, soy sauce, coconut milk and oil. Place the chicken strips in this mixture so that they are well covered and marinate for at least 2 hours.

Fry the asparagus in hot oil for 1-2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and fry together briefly. Dust with icing sugar and allow to caramelise slightly. Deglaze with the wine and pour in the stock. Season with salt, cover and braise over a moderate heat for around 20 minutes until cooked. Add the tomatoes and spring onions for the last 10 minutes.

Heat the grill function in the oven.

Take the chicken strips out of the marinade, drain and thread zigzag onto 8-12 wooden skewers. Season with salt and ground black pepper and grill on a rack (grill pan beneath) for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally.

Take the lid off the vegetables and allow some of the liquid to evaporate if necessary. Season with a dash of lemon juice and salt and serve on plates with the skewers.
