Let's cook!

Ingredients:
[For the chicken & marinade]
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken (340g, sliced into 1/4” thick slices)
3 tablespoons water (45 ml)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch

[For the sauce]
2/3 cup low sodium chicken stock (160 ml)
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar (or brown sugar, 1g)
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

[For the rest of the dish]
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
4 mushrooms (white button or baby bella mushrooms, sliced; about 50g)
1/2 small carrot (45g, thinly sliced)
2/3 cup celery (80g, thinly sliced)
6 ounces bok choy OR cabbage (170g, cut into 3/4” x 2” pieces)
1/2 small onion, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 cup snow peas (3 ounces or 85g)
3/4 cup bean sprouts (3 ounces or 85g)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
Optional: 3-4 baby corn, sliced

Directions:
Combine the sliced chicken with water, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Massage the chicken until it absorbs all the liquid. Next, mix in 1 teaspoon oil and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until the chicken is uniformly coated. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients, and set aside.
Heat your wok over high heat until lightly smoking, and pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil around the perimeter. Spread the chicken in a single layer.
Sear for a few seconds, and then stir-fry the chicken for a minute or two, or until it is lightly golden brown and opaque. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside. (It should be about 80% cooked at this point.) - You may have to do it in two batches.
Turn heat back up to high, add an additional tablespoon of oil along with the onions. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chopped garlic. Once the garlic starts to sizzle, add in the mushrooms, carrots, and celery. Stir fry for 20 seconds and add the bok choy. Give everything a good stir and spread the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok to deglaze it.
Next, stir up your prepared chop suey sauce and spread that around the perimeter to further deglaze the wok. Use your wok spatula to give everything a quick stir.
Once the sauce begins to simmer, add in your bean sprouts and snow peas and the optional baby corn). Also add the chicken back to the wok.
When the sauce gets to a strong simmer or boil, mix up your cornstarch slurry. Drizzle it into the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a consistency you like. Add more cornstarch slurry mix if you like the sauce thicker. Cook for another 10 seconds to ensure everything is coated with the sauce. Serve immediately with steamed rice!
