1 tablespoon grapeseed oil (see note)
500g chicken breast fillets, cut into strips
2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar (see note)
2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari
1-2 teaspoons sambal oelek, to taste (see note)
2 teaspoons caster sugar
1 white onion, cut into thin wedges
6 celery stalks, trimmed, thinly sliced on the diagonal
250g green beans, topped, cut into 4cm lengths
1/4 cup (40g) raw almonds
3 cups steamed white medium grain rice, to serve

Method

1.

Heat half the oil in a wok or large frypan over high heat. Stir-fry the chicken, in batches, for 1-2 minutes, until golden.
2.

Stir vinegar, tamari, sambal and sugar in a small bowl until sugar dissolves, then set aside. Return the wok to high heat and heat remaining oil. Add onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add celery and beans, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until just tender.
3.

Return chicken to wok with vinegar mixture and nuts. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and coated in the sauce. Serve with rice.
