  • Celery
  • Sesame Oil
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Weijixian (Light Soy Sauce)
  • Table Salt

Quantities

Determine how many servings you plan to make before starting. One serving is sufficient for 1-2 people.

Per serving:

  • Minxing Tea Tree Mushrooms: 1 bottle
  • Celery: 250-300g (Celery shoots about 30cm tall are recommended. If unavailable, celery greens or regular celery can be used, but they require slightly longer blanching to cook through)
  • Sesame Oil: 5ml
  • Oyster Sauce: approximately 7ml
  • Weijixian: 3ml
  • Table Salt: approximately 2g

Instructions

  • (Skip this step if using celery shoots) Boil a kettle of hot water and set aside.
  • Pick over fresh celery shoots or celery, removing yellow leaves, and wash them. Set aside.
  • (Skip this step if using celery shoots) Separate the celery leaves from the stalks. Place the stalks in a bowl. Cut the celery stalks into strips 2-3mm wide. This step helps the celery blanch faster and more evenly, resulting in a crisper and more refreshing texture.
  • Cut the celery shoots into 4cm segments. Set aside.
  • (Skip this step if using celery shoots) Heat a pot and pour the boiling water from the kettle into it until it bubbles and boils.
  • (Skip this step if using celery shoots) Add the cut celery strips to the pot to blanch. After about 20 seconds, add the celery leaves. After 5 more seconds, turn off the heat, remove everything, and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  • Place the blanched celery or celery shoots in a bowl. Sprinkle with the prepared salt, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and Weijixian. Mix well.
  • Add the tea tree mushrooms to the bowl and mix well.
  • Plate the dish.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Additional Notes

  • The water level during blanching must completely cover the celery.
  • If the celery leaves are too tough or hard, you can omit them.
