Cold celery

Cold celery is a simple and refreshing recipe with its roots in Asian cuisine, especially in countries like China and Korea, where fresh dishes with balanced flavors are valued. In Latin America, although preparing celery this way is not so common, in some countries it is simply known as "celery salad" or "cold celery". The preparation stands out for highlighting the crunchy texture of the celery and its flavors seasoned with typical ingredients like soy sauce and sesame oil, giving a unique and oriental touch to a very popular vegetable.

This recipe is an excellent way to enjoy celery beyond traditional preparations, combining salty, sweet, and umami flavors in a dish that can be served as a side or appetizer. Its freshness and simplicity make it an ideal option for hot days or to complement heavier meals.
