Stir Fried Celery With Fish

We were watching Jamie Oliver on AFC last Sunday & while he was chopping celery for a salad dish, hubby commented how celery goes so well with fish in a stir fry dish.

He even commented that we don't seem to have celery in our greens. My I was feeling so guilty, I've never cooked celery as I dislike it a lot !
My girls told me they like raw celery sticks, something I've never fed them, they probably had them at some parties or hotel buffets !

Alright, I have to be honest, I don't cook what I don't eat, so besides celery, you won't find all kind of beans on our dining table, I'll try to add them into our meals from now on ...... I hope.

1/2 Cup water
1/2 tsp chicken stock granules (no MSG)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl & set aside.


Marinate fish slices with pinch of salt, 2 tsp each of sesame oil & Hua Tiao wine, 1 tsp sugar, dash of pepper & 1 tsp corn flour. Heat a wok with 1 Tbsp oil till hot, add fish slices, remove them from wok when they're half cooked. Add minced garlic, cook till lightly browned, add carrot & mushroom, followed by celery.
