Note

For best results, ensure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the aromatics to prevent sticking.

This dish is best served immediately while the vegetables are still warm and crisp-tender.

Substitute tamari for a gluten-free version.

Feel free to add other hardy vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli stems along with the celery for extra crunch.
