Yin And Yang Chicken

This dish takes about 15-20 minutes to prepare and should be had with slightly sticky rice preferably jasmine rice for best results :)

Ingredients :
a)1 chicken breast is enough for 2 meals for me. Cut the chicken into medium to small sized pieces. Vegetarians can also use tofu
b)3-4 long stalks of celery cut into small 2 inch pieces(Damn you get good celery in Uncle Sam's).
For this dish, I put celery and chicken in a 1:1.5 ratio .

(Here's the deal with celery. You do not eat the leaves and you need to ensure that when you cut the celery, you remove some of the string'y fibres running across its length. For that cut a small piece from the back of the celery stick(not fully through and through) and break it across its front length and you will see a fibrous stringy thing coming out.

c) Sugar- 2 tbsp(either brown or white will do)
d) Salt - 1teaspoon
e) Red chillies- I choose red because it offsets the green colour of the celery and my dish is given the necessary heat and looks good as well. Red chillies cut into juliennes

f) Ginger- 1 small piece cut into juliennes
g) Onions- half an onion cut into juliennes as well
h) Soya sauce- I use Kikkoman soya sauce. It is the best soy sauce this side of the world though i think back home we believe Sing Cheung from Kolkata make the best soy sauce.

Preparation
1) Put some oil in the pan. I used olive oil so i can be generous with it though next time i am going to try with sesame oil. It will bring a nutty flavour to the dish. Avoid something strong like mustard oil( my personal opinion). Otherwise any oil will do.
2) Next add the onions, ginger, chillies and saute them for 2-3 minutes till the onions become soft and you can smell the flavours coming through

3) Next add the chicken in and saute for some 4-5 minutes till the chicken is cooked.

4) Add in the celery next and then stir fry it for another 2 minutes

5) Add in the soy sauce-2 swirls of it around the pan. Then add in the sugar and the salt. Bring it to a mini boil after 2-3 mins. This is your sauce and voila we are done :). Until next recipe, Keep cooking and smiling !!
