Ingredients
- Celery
- Sugar (1 tsp)
- Cooking oil (about 1 tablespoon)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Ginger (2 slices)
- Oyster sauce (1 tablespoon)
- Fish sauce (1 tsp) (I replace with fruit vinegar sometimes)
- Salt (a pinch)
- Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Celery
- Cut off and discard the bottom of the celery.
- Remove the leaves (you can keep them for salads or soups).
- Cut the celery stalks in half, then wash them under running water, wiping off any dirt.
- Use a peeler to remove the fibrous parts on top of the celery.
- Cut the celery diagonally into smaller pieces for easier stir-frying.
Blanch the Celery
- Boil water in a wok.
- Add the celery and blanch for about 1 minute. This slightly cooks the celery.
- Add 1 tsp of sugar during blanching to enhance the celery’s sweetness.
- Remove the celery from the water and set it aside.
Stir-Fry
- Heat the wok again and add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger slices, cooking on medium to low heat to release their aromas.
- Increase to high heat, add the blanched celery, and stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Reduce to low heat and add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tsp of fish sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir these on the side of the wok to release their aromas.
- Turn the heat back to high and quickly stir-fry everything for another 30 seconds to combine.
Serve
- Transfer the stir-fried celery to a serving plate.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
