Spicy Chicken with Celery

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe


   2 whole chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
   2 teaspoons cornstarch
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/4 teaspoon white peppers
   5 stalks celery
   3 green onions (with tops)
   1 hot green chili or 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
   3 tablespoons vegetable oil
   2 tablespoons brown bean sauce
   2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
   1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger root


Remove bones and skin from chicken breasts; cut into 2 x 1/2-inch strips. Toss chicken, cornstarch, salt and white pepper in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes.

Cut celery diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. Place celery in boiling water; heat to boiling. Boil 1 minute; drain. Immediately rinse in cold water; drain. Cut green onions diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Remove stems and membranes from chili. Cut chili into very thin slices.

Heat wok until very hot. Add vegetable oil; tilt wok to coat side. Add bean sauce, chili, garlic and gingerroot; stir-fry until chicken turns white. Add green onions and celery; stir-fry 1 minute.

4 servings

**This recipe is especially nice because celery is readily available, in any season. Traditionally, celery was not used in Chinese cooking, but during a recent trip to China, I discovered celery being served in the best restaurants. Add celery to other Chinese recipes, if you like. Hold the stem of a hot green chili and cut off the tip with scissors. Loosen the membranes and seeds with tip of scissors blade; discard. Cut chili into thin slices with scissors.
