Stir-Fried Celery with Tofu Skittles: A Simple & Delicious Recipe

Stir-fried celery with tofu skittles is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful dish, perfect for busy weeknights. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it effortlessly.

### Ingredients

- 1 bunch celery (tough ends removed, sliced diagonally)

- 200g tofu skittles (pressed, cut into thin strips or triangles)

- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce (optional, for umami)

- ½ tsp sugar

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

- Salt to taste

- A pinch of white pepper (optional)

### Instructions

1. Prep the veggies: Blanch celery slices in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain to retain crispness. Pat tofu skittles dry with a paper towel to prevent splattering.

2. St-fry tofu: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu skittles and stir-fry until golden on all sides (3–4 minutes). Remove and set aside.

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

4. Combine: Return tofu to the wok, add blanched celery, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until everything is well-coated and heated through.

### Serving Suggestion

Garnish with sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice and complements both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. Enjoy your healthy, homemade stir-fry!
