How to Make Stir-Fried Celery with Pork: A Complete Guide

Stir-fried celery with pork is a quick, healthy, and delicious dish loved for its crisp texture and savory flavor. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it perfectly.

Ingredients:

- 200g pork loin, thinly sliced and marinated in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of black pepper for 10 minutes.

- 3-4 celery stalks, sliced diagonally into 2-inch pieces.

- 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 small ginger, julienned.

- 1 tbsp cooking oil; 1 tbsp soy sauce, 0.5 tsp sugar, and a dash of sesame oil for seasoning.

- Optional: Red chili for color.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Marinate the pork as above. Wash and slice celery, keeping the leaves for extra freshness.

2. Stir-fry the pork: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until no longer pink (2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same wok, add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant (30 seconds).

4. Cook celery: Toss in celery, stir-frying for 1-2 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

5. Combine and season: Return pork to the wok. Add soy sauce, sugar, and chili (if using). Toss quickly to coat evenly. Drizzle with sesame oil before turning off the heat.

Serve hot with steamed rice. This dish balances the pork’s richness with celery’s crunch, making it a weeknight favorite. Enjoy!
