Ingredients:
- 4 cups of celery, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
- Salt to taste
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
- Preparation: Rinse the celery thoroughly and slice it thinly on a diagonal for a pleasing presentation. If your peanuts are not already roasted, you can do so by placing them in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown.
- Cooking: Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
- Adding Celery: Add the sliced celery to the pan and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until the celery begins to soften.
- Seasoning: Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil to the pan. Stir well to ensure the celery is evenly coated with the seasonings. If you like a bit of heat, you can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes at this stage.
- Adding Peanuts: Add the roasted peanuts to the pan and stir well to combine with the celery.
- Serving: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary. Serve the dish warm as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
