  • Place chicken pieces in medium bowl. Add the remaining 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and mix to combine; set aside.
  • Heat wok or skillet with 2 tablespoons oil. Add chicken mixture and stir until opaque (about 3 minutes). Remove to plate.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to wok or skillet. Stir fry celery, carrots, onion, and garlic for 2 minutes. Add water; cover and cook 2-3 more minutes, just until vegetables are crisp tender.
