Celery with Flour: Surprisingly Delicious, More Fragrant Than Braised Pork
Hello everyone, today I’m going to share a delicious way to eat celery. For most people in life, the most common way to eat celery is to combine it with beef and lamb for stir-frying, which can make celery taste better and also enhance the flavor of beef and lamb.
However, the price of beef and lamb has now reached 60-70 yuan per kilogram, which is a bit expensive for someone with a low income like me, but I really love eating celery, so I’ve researched a new way to make celery.
If you are also a lover of celery like me, then let's take a look at this new way to make celery with me. If you make celery with this method, the celery will be really delicious! My family makes it two or three times a week, and the celery after it’s out of the pot is even more fragrant and more satisfying than red braised pork.
Stir-fried Celery Pancakes
IngredientsCelery, salt, edible oil, flour, eggs, red bell pepper, ginger blocks, garlic
Method & Steps
1,First, we need to prepare about half a jin of celery. After preparing the celery, first pick off the celery leaves, wash them clean, blanch them in boiling water for two minutes, then drain and set aside, then chop them into small pieces and put them into a bowl for later use. Then add an appropriate amount of flour and an egg and stir until evenly mixed.
During the mixing process, if the flour is too dry, we can add an appropriate amount of warm water to mix it until the flour appears a cotton-like texture, and then knead it into a dough and let it ferment for 10 minutes before taking it out for use.
2,After fermenting the dough, we need to shape it into strips, then cut it into seven or eight small pieces, and use our hands to flatten them to make the pastry. Then prepare a flat pan or an electric pan and brush it with an appropriate amount of edible oil. When the oil temperature is heated to 50%, put the pastry into it and bake over low heat until both sides are golden brown.
After baking the pastry, we need to cut it into small strips and set it aside. Then, in a separate pan, add half a pan of water to the pan, bring the water to a boil over high heat, add the prepared celery segments and a red bell pepper cut into strips, and blanch them for three minutes until the celery segments are slightly cooked, then drain and set aside.
3,Heat oil in a pan, add a spoonful of edible oil to the pan, and when the oil temperature is heated to 70%, add the prepared ginger blocks and garlic to the hot oil and sauté until fragrant, then add the prepared celery segments and sauté for half a minute, then add a spoonful of salt, two spoonfuls of old soy sauce, and a spoonful of light soy sauce.
Finally, just put the prepared pastry strips into the pan and stir-fry with the celery segments until evenly mixed, and then drizzle an appropriate amount of cornstarch water into the pan to thicken the sauce, and cook over high heat to reduce the sauce and serve the stir-fried celery pancakes, which are really delicious!
Tips
1, Celery leaves are all edible. If you make them in the way I taught you, you can eat all parts of the celery.
2, When baking the celery pancakes, the heat should not be too high, low heat slow baking can make them bake well.
