Make

  1. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then chicken to heated oil. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes and remove chicken from pan and set aside (don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be cooked all the way yet).
  2. Return wok back to heat and then add second part of cooking oil. Add onions, celery, and carrots to heated oil with a sprinkle of salt. Saute for ~10 minutes, until carrots are tender but still crunchy. If the pan ever looks too dry and ingredients may burn, just add a splash of water or chicken stock.
  3. Add mushrooms and chicken back to pan. Push all ingredients to the sides forming a hole in the middle. Give your stir-fry sauce a stir and pour into the hole. Wait for it to bubble and darken before tossing everything through and making sure all the ingredients are coated in the sauce. Cook until all ingredients are tender.
  4. Remove from heat. Finish with lemon juice, and season with salt and hot sauce to taste. Enjoy piping hot!
