Top 10 Delicious Dishes Made from Celery You Should Try

Ingredients:

• Celery: 1.5kg
• Sugar: 20g
• Salt: 80g
• Vinegar: 2 tablespoons
• Carrot: 1 piece
• Rau Ram: 1 bunch
• Garlic: 1 bulb

Directions:

• Step 1: Choose celery that is crisp, with short, thick stalks and light green color. This type of celery is more aromatic, crunchy, and flavorful than water celery. After removing the roots and any wilted leaves, wash and dry it, then cut into 4-5cm pieces.
• Step 2: Peel and shred the carrot, keeping some for decorative flowers, sliced thinly (1-2mm).
• Step 3: Wash and chop the Rau Ram. Peel and slice the garlic.
• Step 4: Mix the celery, garlic, carrot, and Rau Ram thoroughly.
• Step 5: Boil about 800ml of water, add salt, vinegar, and sugar, stirring to dissolve. Strain and let it cool. Prepare a clean, dry glass jar, add the vegetable mix, and pour the salt water over it. Press down with a ceramic plate or weight. After one day, it's ready to eat. This quick pickled celery, with its tangy and crunchy texture, pairs perfectly with boiled meat, stewed pork, or fish stew. However, it should be consumed within 3-4 days, as it doesn't keep well for long.

Good luck with your Quick Pickled Celery!

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of Celery
• 2 small Tomatoes
• 150 grams of Beef Tenderloin
• Ginger, Garlic

Instructions:

• Step 1: For stir-frying with celery, beef tenderloin is often preferred. This cut is tender and flavorful when cooked, and it doesn't become tough. First, wash the beef and pat it dry with a clean towel (this helps prevent the beef from releasing excess water during stir-frying). Then, slice the beef thinly so it cooks quickly, absorbing the seasoning and staying tender. Marinate the beef with 1.5 teaspoons of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and minced ginger and garlic. Use gloves to mix the beef with the seasoning and let it sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop before stir-frying with the celery.
• Step 2: Celery often has a lot of roots, so be sure to clean and trim them off. Keep the tender stalks and remove excess leaves, as they can become mushy when stir-fried. After washing the celery thoroughly to remove any dirt, chop it into 5 cm pieces. Slice the tomatoes into wedges and finely mince the garlic.
• Step 3: For stir-frying, start with the beef. Heat a pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef. Stir-fry continuously to avoid releasing water from the beef, ensuring it stays tender. Since the beef is already seasoned, you don't need to add more salt or seasoning. Stir until the beef is just cooked through, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.
• Step 4: Using the same pan, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in the tomatoes and stir-fry until softened. Add the celery and continue stirring over medium heat until the celery begins to shrink. Season with 1.5 teaspoons of seasoning powder and stir to combine. Once the celery is nearly done, return the beef to the pan and stir until the celery is tender but still slightly crisp. Remove from heat and serve the stir-fried beef with celery while hot.
• This dish is simple to prepare but yields satisfying results. The celery remains crisp and aromatic, while the beef is tender and flavorful, making for a delightful family meal. Everyone will enjoy this stir-fried beef with celery—it's a hit every time. Enjoy your meal!

Ingredients:

• 200g of Grass Carp fillet (can also be substituted with Snakehead fish, which is also delicious). It's best to choose Grass Carp raised in ponds.
• 1 bunch of Celery, preferably with long green stems.
• 1 Onion, Shiitake mushrooms, 1/2 bunch of Vietnamese coriander, ginger, and finely minced garlic and shallots.
• Cooking oil, pepper, seasoning powder, fish sauce, oyster sauce.

Instructions:

• Prepare the fish by filleting and rinsing it thoroughly. Pat the fish dry and cut into 1cm thick slices (this prevents the fish from falling apart when stir-frying).
• Place the fish slices in a bowl and marinate with 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of pepper, and a little minced garlic and shallots. Toss everything together and let it marinate for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• Clean the celery by removing the roots and leaves, then cut into pieces and wash thoroughly before draining.
• Wash the Vietnamese coriander, discarding the stems and roots, and chop the leaves finely.
• Peel and slice the onion into bite-sized pieces.
• Soak the shiitake mushrooms to rehydrate, then slice them in half.
• Heat oil in a pan and sauté the garlic and shallots until fragrant. Add the fish and stir-fry until it’s cooked through (be careful not to overcook, as fish cooks quickly). Once done, remove the fish from the pan and set it aside.
• Add more oil to the pan and sauté the garlic and shallots until fragrant again, then toss in the celery, onion, and shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Add the fish back into the pan. Celery should only be cooked until slightly tender to maintain its crispness and vibrant color.
• Remove the pan from heat, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and adjust the seasoning to taste.
• This stir-fried Grass Carp with celery is best enjoyed hot. The Grass Carp is firm and delicious, and this dish is not only flavorful but also very nutritious. A 100g serving of Grass Carp provides approximately 91 kcal, 17g of protein, 2.6g of fat, 145mg of phosphorus, calcium, and iron. This dish is great for health, helping prevent aging and boosting brain health in children.

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of celery
• 100 grams of roasted peanuts
• 1 lemon
• 2 teaspoons of vinegar
• 3 teaspoons of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of fish sauce
• 1 chili
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate

Instructions:

• Step 1: First, let’s prepare the celery. The root of celery often has a lot of roots, so remove the tough part and clean the roots thoroughly. Then, wash it clean and soak it in saltwater for about 30 minutes. After that, rinse the celery again under running water to ensure it's completely clean.
• Step 2: The sweet and sour fish sauce plays an essential role in the flavor of this celery salad. For me, the perfect fish sauce should strike a balance of sourness, sweetness, and a slight spiciness. The sour and sweet flavors should stand out clearly. Here’s how I prepare the dressing: Mix 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, the juice of half a lemon, 2 teaspoons of vinegar, 3 teaspoons of sugar, 3 crushed garlic cloves, 1 sliced chili (without seeds), and 1 teaspoon of MSG (optional). After mixing, taste it and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
• Step 3: Once the celery is cleaned, cut it into pieces about 5cm in length. Then, place the celery in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Boil a pot of water, and quickly blanch the celery (the key is to blanch it briefly so the celery remains crunchy for the salad).
• Step 4: After blanching, remove the celery and let it drain. You can wear gloves and gently squeeze to ensure the celery is dry, making it more crisp and better able to absorb the flavors. Then, pour the fish sauce mixture you prepared in Step 2 over the celery, mixing well while tasting to ensure the saltiness is just right. Gently massage the celery to mix the flavors thoroughly. Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, it’s ready.
• Finally, sprinkle the crushed roasted peanuts on top of the salad, and your celery salad is ready. This dish is simple to make but incredibly addictive once you start eating. The celery is crunchy, not chewy, and the flavor is truly unique—no other vegetable has the same taste. Try it and enjoy the delightful celery salad that Mytour has shared. Wishing you success and happy eating!
