Spicy Fried Celery Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the celery sticks into 4cm lengths, then finely shred these vertically.
• Slice the chilli thinly.
• Heat the oil in a fry pan, and add the celery, chilli and sugar.
• Stir-fry over a moderate heat for 1 minute, then add the soy sauce and continue stir frying for a further minute or two and until all the liquid has evaporated.
• To keep the celery crisp, evaporate the liquid quickly.

Steps:

• Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil and wine, in a medium bowl, set aside. Mince the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a mini chopper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, the celery and cashews. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry until the celery turns jade green, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.
• Return the skillet to high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the shrimp and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry until shrimp turn pink and curl up, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger-garlic mixture and the scallion whites, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return the celery and cashews to the pan with most of the scallion greens and the reserved soy sauce mixture and stir over the heat for about 1 minute to mix together evenly and blend flavors. Mound the mixture on a platter and garnish with the remaining scallion greens.

Steps:

• Mix together the celery, olive oil, vinegar, parsley, coriander seeds, ancho chile powder, salt, pepper, garlic, jalapenos, Fresno chiles and red onions in a nonreactive bowl. Marinate for 24 hours at room temperature, or longer in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a medium heavy pot over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk 1 tablespoon water and the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Place the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a separate shallow bowl.
• Toss one-third of the celery in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Transfer the celery to the egg mixture and turn with a fork to coat. Lift out the coated celeries 2 at a time, letting the excess egg drip off. Place the celery in the breadcrumbs, slightly pressing the celery into the breadcrumbs to make sure they're well coated. Carefully drop the celery into the pot and fry in batches of 3, turning occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the celery to a wire rack or fresh paper towels, to drain, using a slotted spoon.
• Repeat the coating and frying process with the remaining celery sticks. Keep the oil to 360 degrees F between batches. Sprinkle the celery with salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, tomato paste, green onions, rice wine, 1 tablespoon sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add pork; cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
• Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan, until slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Saute for 1 minute. Add remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Add celery leaves; cook and stir until celery is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes more. Serve alongside pork.

Steps:

• Cut the beef with the grain into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then stack the beef slices and cut across the grain into 2-inch-long matchsticks.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil, add the carrots, celery, and chilies, then, using a metal spatula, stir-fry 1 minute or until the vegetables have absorbed all of the oil. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
• Swirl the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil into the wok, carefully add the beef, and spread it evenly in one layer in the wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting the beef begin to sear. Then stir-fry 1 minute, or until the beef starts to foam and release its juices. Continue stir-frying 2 to 3 minutes or until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the oil begins to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and continue stir-frying 3 minutes until the beef is well browned, all the liquid has disappeared, and the wok is almost dry. Swirl the soy sauce into the wok and stir-fry 30 seconds or until well combined. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry 10 seconds or until the aromatics are fragrant. Add the carrot mixture and stir-fry 30 seconds or until well combined. Add the sesame oil and scallions and sprinkle on the salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cut the asparagus stems in half lengthwise.
• In a wok, heat the oil until very hot.
• Put in the stems and chilli flakes or chilli and fry for 30 seconds.
• Add the water and sugar and cook on a high heat for about 4 minutes or until the stems are nearly tender.
• This may take longer if your stems are especially thick.
• Add the soy sauce and cook a minute longer.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut the celery into 2-inch lengths. Mix with the salt and sugar and set aside for 10 minutes while you whisk together the remaining ingredients.
• Rinse, drain, and pat dry the celery, then toss with the dressing. Let stand in the refrigerator for at least three hours, and up to a day.
• Serve chilled.

Steps:

• Boil the celery in lightly salted water for 1 minute. Drain, cool under cold running water and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet and saute the scallions for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth, coriander seeds, celery seeds and chili-pepper flakes and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the celery and lemon juice. Cover, reduce heat to very low and simmer until the celery is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. If more than 1 cup of broth remains, remove the celery and continue cooking until the broth has reduced. Recombine celery and broth in a flat container, add the salt and refrigerate, covered with tinfoil, for 1 hour.
• Chop 1/2 of the cilantro leaves with the celery leaves and add to the celery. Sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the cauliflower in large florets. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the celery salt, oregano, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• In a medium bowl, add half of the spice mix to the flour.
• Add the cornstarch and mix.
• In a separate medium bowl, combine the soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce. Whisk.
• Pour the remaining spice mix over the cauliflower florets and mix.
• Pour the milk mixture over the cauliflower and mix well until they are coated.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour minimum.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Toss each cauliflower floret in the flour mixture until well-coated, shaking off any excess. Dip them back in the remaining soy milk mixture in the bowl where they marinated, then again in the flour mixture.
• Fry the cauliflower for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
• Drain the pieces on a wire or paper towels. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
