How to Make Stir-Fried Celery with Sausage

Stir-fried celery with sausage is a quick, flavorful dish that balances crispness, saltiness, and aroma. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 2 stalks celery, sliced diagonally

- 150g sausage, sliced (use Chinese lap cheong or smoked sausage)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- 1 tsp soy sauce

- ½ tsp sugar

- Salt to taste

- Optional: Red chili slices for heat.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Rinse celery and cut into 3-inch pieces. Slice sausage into thin coins. Mince garlic.

2. Cook the sausage: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add sausage slices and stir-fry until slightly crispy and oils are released (about 2 minutes). Remove and set aside.

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

4. Stir-fry celery: Add celery to the wok. Increase heat to high and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until crisp-tender.

5. Combine and season: Return sausage to the wok. Add soy sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything evenly for 1 minute.

Serving tip: Enjoy hot with steamed rice! The dish pairs well with a light soup for a balanced meal.

This versatile recipe takes under 15 minutes and is perfect for busy weeknights. Adjust seasoning to your taste, and feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers for extra color.
