Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the clear noodles according to package instructions until tender but still chewy.
  2. Drain the noodles thoroughly and rinse briefly with cool water to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  3. Wash and trim the celery stalks, then slice them thinly on the diagonal for a uniform shape.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add the sliced celery to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the celery.
  7. Sprinkle the salt over the noodles and vegetables, tossing everything together to coat evenly.
  8. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors and heat through.
  9. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl.
  10. Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
