Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 3 pieces celery stalks
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 pieces green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, sriracha, cornstarch, water, and grated ginger until smooth. Set aside.
Thinly slice the celery stalks on a diagonal. Mince the garlic and chop the green onions. Set everything aside for later.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet, followed by the garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced celery to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, keeping the celery crisp-tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and celery.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
