Celery is quite healthy! He has very few calories. In China it is a great choice for losing weight. Many Chinese think that the celery is rich in important vitamins. They like to use it as a helper to lower the blood pressure and to reduce the blood fat.

In childhood I have eaten a lot of celery, as a salad, as a side dish to noodles, and very often fried. I was so glad when I first saw the celery in Supermarket. I bought immediately. I miss the taste sooooo much!

The dish has the lyrical name of “Send the Rice Down” in Chinese and the slightly more prosaic “芹菜炒肉末/Celery Beef Stir Fry” in English. But never mind the names – what you need to know is that this dish is one of the more addictive things to ever issue from my kitchen. Eating it is deeply pleasurable and almost painful because you cannot possibly eat as much of it as you would like to, lest you pop your trouser button after your third or fourth plate.
