Bone and remove skin from chicken. Cut into 1"x 1 1/2" pieces. Add "seasoning" to chicken and mix well. Cut off and discard the last 2 " at the base end of the asparagus. Then, cut each spear diagonally into 2" lengths. Wash and drain. Wash black beans thoroughly (at least 2 rinses). Mash the beans and mix with the crushed garlic. Heat wok. Add 2 tablespoon oil. Stir-fry the seasoned chicken for 5 minutes. Set aside. Reheat wok. Add 1 tablespoon oil and the black bean mixture and cook for 1 minute. Add the asparagus and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Then add salt, sugar, and water. Add the chicken and bring the mixture to a boil. Thicken with cornstarch mixture (made with 3/4 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 1/2 tablespoon cold water). Cook for 1 minute, and serve. NOTE: Do not try to substitute canned asparagus! SOURCE: Chopsticks, Wok and Clever File ftp://ftp.idiscover.co.uk/pub/food/mealmaster/recipes/mmdja006.zip
