An excellent super quick and easy Chinese stir-fry that highlights the crisp textures and flavors. Very nicely balanced and it’s ready in less than 15 minutes flat! Faster than Chinese take out.

I'm making this tonight but noticed recipe ingredients do not call for celery but the instructions do. Think I'll add about 1/2 cup celery.

Thank you for the recipe. I prepped night before since I had to cook in the morning to take to a sick friend who requested this very thing. With everything washed, chopped and ready to go it took me about 30 minutes cook time. I used powdered ginger and no sherry.

I would not use powdered ginger in place of fresh. It's not the same. Also, you can use rice wine instead of sherry.
