Celery leaves, often discarded, are a nutritious and flavorful addition to dishes. This stir-fry combines them with eggs for a quick, healthy meal. Here’s a simple guide:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups fresh celery leaves, washed and chopped

- 3 eggs, lightly beaten

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

Steps:

1. Prep the leaves: Trim tough stems from celery leaves, then chop them finely. Beat eggs in a bowl, season lightly with salt.

4. Combine: Return scrambled eggs to the wok. Mix gently with celery leaves. Season with pepper (and chili flakes if using). Adjust salt to taste.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate immediately. Enjoy hot with steamed rice or as a side dish.
