It is hard to believe I used to hate Celery. I love it now, fresh OR cooked, in any flavours. I often pickle Celery with Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar. Today I added Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and Sesame Oil. I couldn’t wait for 30 minutes, so I enjoyed it straight away, but I needed to add 1 pinch Salt. DO NOT waste leaves. Mix the stalks and leaves all together.

Ingredients

2 stalks (about 200g) Celery *Leaves can be added
1/2 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 tablespoon Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce)
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 pinch Salt *optional

Method
  1. Wash Celery stalks and leaves. Cut stalks diagonally into 1cm thick slices. Cut thin stalks and leaves into the size that is easy to eat.
  2. Combine everything in a mixing bowl. Leave in the fridge for 30 minutes before serve, but you can enjoy it straight away. You might need to add a pinch Salt if you can’t wait.
