Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips. Transfer to a bowl and add cornstarch, egg white, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a wok over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and spread it over the surface. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes. Then transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Return the wok to high heat and pour in the remaining oil. Then add the finely julienned ginger and leek and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the chopped celery and stir-fry for another minute until tender but still slightly crunchy inside.
