How to Make Stir-Fried Celery with Chinese Sausage

Stir-fried celery with Chinese sausage is a quick, flavorful dish that balances crispy, fresh celery with savory, smoky sausage. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients: 2 stalks celery (sliced diagonally), 100g Chinese sausage (sliced thinly), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and optional chili flakes for heat.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Rinse and slice celery into bite-sized pieces. Slice the sausage into thin coins for even cooking. Mince garlic and set aside.

2. Cook the sausage: Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add sausage slices and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the edges turn slightly crisp and the oils are released. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry the celery: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Toss in celery slices and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.

4. Combine and season: Return the sausage to the wok. Add soy sauce, sugar, salt, and chili flakes (if using). Toss everything together for 1 minute, ensuring the flavors coat the celery evenly.

Serving tip: Enjoy this dish hot with steamed rice for a satisfying meal. The celery’s crunch complements the sausage’s richness, making it a crowd-pleaser. Adjust seasonings to your taste—add a dash of oyster sauce for extra umami if desired!
