You know how if you go to Korean restaurants and order certain dishes, there'll be little side dishes to go with the meal? Apparently if you order some set meals from Taiwanese restaurants, you can sometimes get these small side dishes too.
One day I got this cold garlicky celery side dish with my beef curry and rice meal. It was very cool so I decided to so it at home. It's crazy easy and an easy way to add more veggies to a meal. I dare say that it's even an easy way to use up any uncooked Chinese veggies (aka choy) leftover. Although I'd probably cut up any choy into bite size pieces so I can just have it as a snack. :D
Garlicky Celery
(serves 2-3)
Ingredients:
- 4 celery stalks, sliced into 1/8 of an inch thick pieces
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp canola oil
- Salt, to taste
- Water (optional)
Directions:
- In a medium nonstick pan, heat up oil over medium high heat. Add in celery and cook for about a minute or until the celery starts softening a bit.
- Add in garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant and celery is tender crisp. Season with salt. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to prevent celery from browning.
- Serve hot as a side or chill in the fridge for an hour or so and serve cold as a side.
