Combine remaining 3 T. sherry, the water, soy sauce, honey rice vinegar, sesame oil, and remaining 2 t. cornstarch; set aside
Heat in non stick wok or large; deep skillet over med-high heat until a drop of water sizzle. Swirl in the canola oil, then add the chicken mixture Stir fry until lightly browned, 2-3 min. Add the ginger, garlic, scallions and crushed red pepper; stir fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the celery and bell pepper (I do not use this); stir fry until crisp=tender about 2-3min. Stir in the sherry mixture and cook stirring constantly until the mixture boils and thickens and the chicken is just cooked through, 1-2 minutes.
