Overall, this was a good recipe. It was easy to make and the flavors were good. I would make a few adjustments next time to suit my own taste preferences.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

I found that the celery was a bit too crunchy for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet and sour dishes, but this one was surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the celery was cooked perfectly.

I added some chopped nuts to the dish for extra crunch. It was a great addition.

I've never been a big fan of celery, but this recipe changed my mind. The sweet and sour sauce really elevates the flavor of the celery.
