Chinese black pepper chicken stir fry
Ingredients:
2 pounds (1 kilogram) skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
2-3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 large onion, cut into cubes
1 ½ tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
Salt as needed
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the chicken with soy sauce, fresh ginger, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. You might need to cook the chicken in batches.
Once the chicken is cooked through, add the celery and onion and cook for 1 minute over high heat, then sprinkle with black pepper and give a good stir to combine everything.
Serve immediately over jasmine rice.
