When I buy Celery, I always buy a large bunch with lots of leaves, so that I can cook this stir-fry. Do not waste leaves and thin stalks. This stir-fry is a great topping for freshly cooked Rice or Tofu. It is so tasty, and even my son, who doesn’t like Celery, seems to be enjoying it. My husband, who hates Celery, is tough…
