Time 20m

Yield Serves 3 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large bunch celery
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha or other hot chili sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup canola or peanut oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large clove garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/4 pound ground pork
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Using a peeler, remove the strings from the outer layer of the celery stalks. Trim the leaves, then slice the stalks into 1/4 -by-1 1/2 -inch sticks. (You should have about 4 cups.)
  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili sauce, sherry and sugar.
  • Heat a wok or a large, heavy skillet fitted with a lid over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the celery and stir a few times; then add the salt and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the celery to a dish; clean and dry the wok.
  • Reheat the pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. After about 30 seconds, add the garlic clove, flipping a few times; then add the ginger and the pork, stirring to break up the lumps. Stir in the soy-sauce mixture. Return the celery to the pan and toss. Add the chicken stock, cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam to reduce the liquid, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, increase the heat to high and stir until the liquid has evaporated. Add the sesame oil and toss well. Discard the garlic clove.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it would be better with less chili peppers.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The celery was also a bit too crunchy for my liking.
