Slice the chicken breast into thin, uniform strips about ½ cm thick. Cut both bell peppers and celery into matching thin strips. Have all seasonings measured and ready near your stove.
Toss the chicken strips with half the oyster sauce, the cornstarch mixture, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes while you heat your wok. This coating ensures tender, juicy meat.
Heat your wok over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon oil, then swirl in the garlic and ginger. Stir for about 15 seconds until fragrant—don't let them burn.
Add the seasoned chicken to the wok in a single layer. Let it sear for 30 seconds before stirring. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the wok. Toss in the bell peppers and celery, stir-frying for 1 minute until slightly softened but still crisp. Return the chicken, add the remaining oyster sauce, and toss everything together for 30 seconds. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
