Instructions

1

Using a cutting board and knife, remove the chicken thigh meat, tap the bone and joint areas with the knife to separate them, and remove the bones.

2

Use a cutting board and knife to cleanly remove the skin and small bones from the chicken breast and tenderloin.

3

Use the back and blade of the knife to cut the prepared chicken into bite-sized cubes.

4

Use a cutting board and knife to cut the celery and onion into appropriate sizes.

5

In a bowl, combine water, 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp sugar to make the sauce.

6

Place the cubed chicken in a bowl, add a little starch and egg, and mix lightly to marinate.

7

Pour cooking oil (for frying) into a pan and heat until hot.

8

Add the marinated chicken to the hot oil and stir-fry as if deep-frying.

9

Drizzle chili oil in the pan, then add chili, minced garlic, minced ginger, and green onion to stir-fry until fragrant.

10

Add the prepared celery, garlic, and green onion to the pan and stir-fry evenly.

11

Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and stir-fry so the starch mixture coats the meat and vegetables well.

Finally, drizzle with a little sesame oil, mix lightly, and serve on a plate.
