Instructions
- Use a paring knife or peeler to remove the toughest outer strings from the stalks.

- Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until garlic & ginger are fragrant and celery is just beginning to soften slightly.
- Add ¼ cup of the stock, soy sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until celery is beginning to get tender approximately 3 minutes.
- Uncover raise heat to medium and allow the celery to continue to cook for an additional 5- 8 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the celery begins to brown.
- Add remaining ¼ cup of stock. Stir scraping all the brown bits off of the bottom of the pan. Mixing thoroughly so all the celery gets coated with the brown bits and stock. Cook until celery is tender another minute or two.
