Celery has a nice crisp texture and can be eaten raw. I like to scrape off the edge and the outer surface of the celery with a peeler, so that it is easier to chew. In this recipe, it is quick stir fry to retain its crunchy texture. Like most stir-fry dishes, a simple sauce which consists of light soy sauce, sugar and corn flour solution will do. So is this dish, it is simple yet the sauce does not overpower the distinct flavour of celery. Young corn or red capsicum can be added, if desired.
