Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Napa cabbage
- 150 grams Celery stalks
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the napa cabbage and celery thoroughly. Chop the napa cabbage into bite-sized pieces and slice the celery thinly at a diagonal angle for a more visually appealing presentation.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, water, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the chopped celery to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften but still retains some crunch.
Add the napa cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until it wilts and softens slightly.
Give the prepared sauce a quick stir to ensure the cornstarch is evenly distributed, then pour it over the vegetables in the skillet.
Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the vegetables evenly.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a main or side dish alongside rice or noodles. Enjoy your Vegan Fried Celery Cabbage!
