Chinese celery, also known as leaf celery, is a variant of wild celery with significantly more flavor and aroma than conventional celery. The stalks are thin and tender and the primary eating portion of the vegetable. The leaves can be tough and are usually removed and discarded or used for stock. Leaf celery's intense vegetal aroma paired with its tender stalks make it popular as a stand-alone vegetable in stir-fry dishes.
Uses: Stir-fry with your favorite meats, salt, and garlic for a fragrant entree or side dish. Add to your salads. Top your steamed fish with it.
