My version of desi style szechuan chicken

This is my version. And it's slightly desi. But it's easy and fast (took me all of 15 minutes). So enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 lb. chicken breast, cut into small strips
1 onion, sliced
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
1 cup julienne carrots
1 cup julienne celery
1 green bell pepper, julienne
1 cup thinly sliced cabbage
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
pinch of haldi
SAUCE:
5 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp chili paste
1 tbsp sriracha sauce (red bottle, green top, rooster on the front)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp vinegar/rice vinegar
1 tsp tomato paste
1 tbsp corn starch mixed with cold water

Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, except for the corn starch. Heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger-garlic paste, jalapeno and haldi and fry for about 30 seconds. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink. Throw in all the veggies and the sauce and cook for a few minutes. You don't want the veggies to get soft. Add the corn starch to thicken. If you need more sauce add water and more spices if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve with steamed rice.
