Celery Noodles



I know it has been a long time since I wrote a post. A family tragedy left me with less inspiration and creativity. My FIL recently passed away after suffering from Liver cirrhosis. But, I am back now and back with something really healthy and yum.

I love noodles and who doesn't covet the yummy unctuous Chinese dish? This celery noodles is light and yummy. I recently read an article about celery and why it is called the negative calorie vegetable. Looks like the wonder diet mantra is to eat something that takes more calories to digest than the amount we gain when consumed. Celery just does that.

Recipe:-

I tad bit tweaked the recipe. I added some green chillies for lil heat, sun dried tomatoes for some tang and dry roasted peanuts for some crunch. I sauteed all of these in olive oil before I added the celery strips.  While in the plate, I dressed the noodles with some drizzle of light salad dressing.
