Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the large onions and celery stalks into thin slices and 1-inch diagonal pieces respectively.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become slightly soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the celery pieces and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms begin to release their moisture.
  5. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and let the vegetables cook in the broth for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Add the drained bean sprouts and bamboo shoots to the skillet, stirring to combine.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup of chicken broth until smooth and free of lumps.
  9. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet along with the cut cooked chicken pieces.
  10. Stir everything together and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Simmer the mixture for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
  12. Taste the sauce and add additional soy sauce if desired for more saltiness.
  13. Serve hot over cooked Chinese noodles or steamed rice.
