Season the chicken with soy sauce, half of the oil, and let it marinate for about 25-30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Brown the chicken in a skillet with the remaining oil and sugar for caramelization.

Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the skillet and brown it with the chicken.

Add chopped onions and cilantro to the skillet and mix well.

Add the remaining chopped vegetables (celery, tomatoes, bell pepper, garlic) to the skillet and stir-fry them briefly.

Pour in 1 cup of hot water and cover the skillet, allowing it to cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes.
