Recipe

Wash the celery thoroughly, remove the leaves, and diagonally slice the thick stalks into bite-sized pieces.
Thinly slice the pork (bulgogi or stew meat) into strips, and finely chop the green onion.
Add a generous amount of cooking oil to a pan and add the chopped green onion to create plenty of scallion oil.
Once the scallion oil is fragrant, add plenty of minced garlic and the sliced pork, breaking it up as you stir-fry to prevent clumping.
When the pork begins to turn white, add the oyster sauce and stir-fry together to coat the pork with flavor.
Add the sliced celery and stir-fry quickly over high heat until the celery is slightly wilted but still crisp. The dish is complete.

Diagonally slice the celery, and thinly slice the pork and green onion.
In a pan with plenty of oil, stir-fry green onion, garlic, and pork together.
Season with oyster sauce, then add celery and stir-fry quickly until slightly wilted.

Cooking tips

You don't need to peel the thick fibrous stems of the celery; stir-frying makes them crisp and tender.
If you have whole garlic cloves, crush them with the back of a knife and then mince them for a richer garlic flavor.
Overcooking the celery will eliminate its crispness, so the key is to stir-fry quickly over high heat.
The finished dish can be enjoyed even more deliciously by wrapping it with steamed buns like hua juan or mantou.
