Instructions
Mix chicken with baking soda and half the coconut aminos in a bowl. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add more oil if needed, then sauté ginger and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add celery, onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return chicken to skillet. Add remaining coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar. Stir to coat well.
Add black pepper to taste. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes for flavors to meld.

Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later use. Reheat with a splash of broth to retain juiciness.
