Prepare the sauce by mixing Bragg liquid aminos or low sodium soy sauce or lower sodium tamari sauce, rice vinegar, ginger paste, and optional raw honey or brown rice syrup.

Squeeze in the juice from one orange and add arrowroot starch to the mixture.

Set a non-stick wok on medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Toss in chopped chicken breast and cook until about 85% finished with no visible pink pieces, then set aside.

In the same wok, add more olive oil and sauté garlic and chopped green onions for about 2 minutes.

Add the raw vegetables (bell peppers, celery, mushrooms, edamame, broccoli) and sear them for about 7 to 8 minutes, ensuring they remain crunchy.

Move everything to one side of the skillet or create a hole in the middle, then pour in the sauce.

Reduce the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer and bubble, indicating it's ready.

Quickly mix everything together and serve with your choice of complex carbs like brown rice.
