Provided by JustJanS

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 celery ribs, with some leaves
1 small red chile
15 ml oil
4 teaspoons sugar
30 ml soy sauce

Steps:

  • Cut the celery sticks into 4cm lengths, then finely shred these vertically.
  • Slice the chilli thinly.
  • Heat the oil in a fry pan, and add the celery, chilli and sugar.
  • Stir-fry over a moderate heat for 1 minute, then add the soy sauce and continue stir frying for a further minute or two and until all the liquid has evaporated.
  • To keep the celery crisp, evaporate the liquid quickly.

Tips:

  • Select fresh, crisp celery: Look for celery stalks that are bright green, firm, and have tightly packed leaves. Avoid any stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Use a variety of meat: You can use any type of ground meat in this recipe, such as beef, pork, chicken, or turkey. If you're using a lean meat, such as chicken or turkey, you may want to add a little bit of oil to the pan before cooking.
  • Cook the meat until it is browned: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Add the celery and cook until it is tender: The celery should still have a slight crunch to it, so don't overcook it.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together, so make sure to use a sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. Some popular options include oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh. It can be served over rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Stir-fried celery in meat sauce is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. With its simple ingredients and delicious taste, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
