6 cups julienned celery (about 1 head of celery) (*see note)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ((or to taste; 1 tsp is hot, 1/2 tsp medium, 1/4 tsp is mild))
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons arrowroot flour
Steps
Heat the avocado and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. When hot, add the celery, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the celery is slightly tender and browned, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the broth, coconut aminos, rice vinegar and arrowroot and stir until well combined and the arrowroot has dissolved.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the celery is well coated in the sauce; 3 to 4 more minutes.

Juliana on 2023-05-17 (5 stars): Loved this! Used veggie broth and pan seared tofu to make a meal vegan but the celery was amazing! Thank you!
Krista on 2023-05-17 (5 stars): This was delish and helped us finish a lot of extra celery! Even my mother who doesn’t love celery enjoyed this dish, the flavors complement very well. Did not have arrowroot starch but it still turned out great. Served this as the side vegetable to a super quick air fryer chicken katsu and it was the easiest dinner ever :)
Melissa on 2021-03-23 (5 stars): This recipe is perfect. I made it with celery and have used it with broccoli and with ground beef and broccoli and they're all delicious! It's now a staple for my family and so easy to make. Thank you!

Courtney on 2021-01-31 (5 stars): A recipe featuring one of my all time favorite things to eat!! This was so tasty and had so much flavor. Savory, spicy, crunchy and filling. I added bean sprouts because I had them and needed to use them up. Highly recommend!
