Key Tips:
1. If you have ready-made scallion oil, add it directly when the chicken pieces blanch.
2. You can substitute chicken pieces with ribs; the method is the same.
3. Hollow celery is crisp. Add a little water while stir-frying to retain some sauce, otherwise, the tofu skin strips may burn.
4. When there are no sprouts, you can substitute with spinach or bok choy.
