Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, and coarsely ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the skillet. Add the chopped onion and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Once it bubbles and thickens slightly (about 1 minute), return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything to combine and coat well with the sauce. Serve immediately with hot rice.
Notes
Use Coarse Pepper: For the best flavor and texture, use coarsely ground black pepper. The bold, pungent taste is essential to the dish.
Don't Crowd the Pan: Ensure the chicken gets a good sear by not overcrowding the pan. Cook in two batches if your skillet isn't large enough.
Prep Ahead: Stir-frying moves quickly, so have all your ingredients chopped, measured, and ready to go before you turn on the heat.
