Celery Stalks are easily available in most hypermarket and they are normally imported from US. My daughter does not like celery. However, she likes bacon very much. Therefore, in order to get her to eat celery, I fried them with bacon. Anyway, she did took one bite at the celery and ate some of the carrots in this dish. Well, at least, I manage to get her to try out this Simple Fried Celery Stalks with Bacon dish. LOL!
Ingredients
Celery, 4 stalks, cut into bite size
Bacon, 3 slices, cut into small pieces
Garlic, 3 cloves, chopped finely
Carrot, 1 pc, cut into bite size
Salt to taste (Note, bacon and celery are already salty, so you might not need to add salt at all)
Heat up wok and add a little water. Put in the bacon pieces. This is the best way to make the bacon crispy without burning it. Adding water to bacon when cooking it would bring out the oil and when the water vapourise, the bacon would be fried till crispy in the oil. Add in the garlic and saute till golden brown. Throw in the celery and carrot. Fry for a short while. Serve with steamed rice.
I am not fancy on celery but I like bacon, maybe I can try this out one day

ReplyDeleteI think anything will taste good with bacon, good try Pete! I guess if you have it more often she will get used to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to tempt your daughter to eat celery!...haha. I think all of us parents have to be creative and smart. I had a hard time with my girl when she was young. She is still very picky but has improved over the years.
ReplyDeleteI like celerey, I like bacon. This is a great idea to combine both into one fantastic dish :) Will try it out.

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using bacon. I use roast pork when I do a similar dish like this. Next time must try with bacon.
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
ReplyDeleteI also don't really like celery but it's healthy so I eat it! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI was one of those celery hating kids. Was...
ReplyDeleteBut now, I've grown up, so have my taste buds.
If put water in the wok, then only fried the bacon, the oil will 'fly' here and there or not ? haha....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thks for sharing. I still got a pack of bacon at home. Can try to fry them your style.
