Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken with low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and toasted sesame oil.
Mix apple cider vinegar and brown sugar until dissolved, then add to the chicken mixture.
Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
Add ginger puree, oyster sauce, additional soy sauce, and water. Stir to combine.
Add celery, bell peppers, and the sliced chili pepper, sautéing for a few minutes until vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the skillet to thicken the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and scallions if desired.
