I was floored when I saw this price of celery at the grocery store today. That is awfully high for celery. I am making chop suey so I needed the celery. Here is my recipe.
Use 1 lb. to 1-1/4 lb. sirloin or round steak cut into small pieces remove all fat.
1 small to medium onion sliced or chopped (white or yellow onion)
celery 2 to 3 stalks chopped
1 very large can Chinese Vegetables
1 small can sliced water chestnuts
One small bottle sliced or button mushrooms
Soy Sauce to taste usually 2 maybe 3 T (you can also use low sodium soy sauce) salt & pepper to taste
Bead Molasses 1 to 2 T Get a large pot and pour in a little veg. oil. Then add cut up meat, onion and celery; salt & pepper. Cook until meat is brown. Then add water about 4 cups and then add soy sauce and bead molasses and a little salt and pepper. Do taste so it is not too salty because you are using the soy sauce. Cook uncovered for about 1 hour until meat is tender. Then drain all vegs. and add. Heat through. I serve with the crispy chow mein noodles or serve with rice. You can thicken the sauce with either flour & water or corn startch & water. It is a fairly healthy dish with veggies and lean meat. Enjoy. I revised the recipe and got more specific so I hope that helps.

@Katcat1 I buy organic celery at Costco for less....it is a staple. Do you have access to a Costco? Maybe different stores carry different produce.

Sounds delicious - but lucky for me I have a Chinese Restaurant nearby that delivers. Some nights everything is frozen - have no idea what to make - ahh full menu to select from. It's a treat.

What is bead molasses? Is there something in it that makes it different from plain old molasses?
TIA

@Katcat1 How much meat? How many stalks of celery?

I posted on here a few weeks ago that I was having a hard time finding celery at the grocery store. No one else seemed to be having any trouble finding it. The produce manager said it was due to problems at the border. Last week when I went in, no celery on the shelf. I asked and he said he would go cut some for me...and he brought out a whole tray of bunches of celery. $2.99
supply and demand?

For goodness sakes, where do you shop?
Celery is $1.79 each, not just a pound.
Organic is $2.99 each.
A two pack of celery hearts is $3.89 ($1.94 each).
This is my closest place to shop.
Celery will be even less is I go a bit further.
Nice recipie tho, @Katcat1 ☺

@Flatbush Honestly, I don't really know but it is sold in the Asian section and it gives color to your stock and possibly a little flavor.

@Havarti One pound or 1-1/4 lb. cut up into edible pieces. Celery 2 to 3 stalks chopped up and the onion you can chop it, slice it however you like. I cut the onion in half and slice and then cut the slice in half. This would be for 1 to 2 people and have leftovers for a night or two. It depends on your serving size.
