Frequently Asked Questions About Chinese Celery
What is Chinese celery?
Chinese celery is a celery variety with slender stalks, abundant leaves, and a more pronounced aroma than the large-stalked celery commonly sold in many supermarkets. Both its stalks and leaves are used, especially in Asian-style soups, stir-fries, and other savory dishes.
How is Chinese celery different from regular celery?
Chinese celery usually has thinner stalks, more leaves, and a stronger celery flavor than regular supermarket celery. It softens quickly when cooked, so add it later in a stir-fry or soup if you want the stalks to retain some bite.
How do you cook Chinese celery?
Chinese celery works well in quick stir-fries, soups, and savory fillings. Slice the stalks thinly and add them near the end of cooking, or cook them with aromatics for a softer texture; the leaves can be stirred in just before serving.
Can you eat Chinese celery raw?
Yes, you can eat Chinese celery raw. Slice the stalks thinly for salads or serve them with a dip; because its flavor can be more assertive than regular celery, try a small amount first and adjust to taste.
Can you eat the leaves of Chinese celery?
Yes, Chinese celery leaves are edible and have a strong, fresh celery flavor. Chop them into soups, salads, omelets, or stir-fries, or scatter them over a finished dish like an herb. Remove any yellow or wilted leaves before using.
Can Chinese celery replace regular celery in recipes?
Yes, Chinese celery can replace regular celery in many cooked recipes. Its flavor is often stronger and its stalks are thinner, so start with a smaller amount than the recipe calls for and taste before adding more.
What does Chinese celery taste like?
Chinese celery tastes distinctly like celery, but its aroma is often more intense and its leaves contribute a fresh, herbal note. Cooking mellows the flavor, while using the stalks raw makes their sharper celery taste more noticeable.
How should you store Chinese celery?
Keep Chinese celery unwashed in the refrigerator, loosely wrapped, and wash it just before use. Excess moisture can make the leaves spoil sooner, so remove any wet or damaged leaves and keep the bunch in the crisper drawer.
Can you freeze Chinese celery?
Yes, Chinese celery can be frozen, though thawed stalks become softer and are better suited to cooked dishes than salads. Wash and dry it thoroughly, chop it, and freeze it in an airtight container so you can add portions directly to soups or stir-fries.
Do you need to peel Chinese celery before using it?
No, Chinese celery usually does not need peeling because its stalks are relatively slender. Rinse the stalks and leaves carefully to remove any grit, then trim tough ends and chop them to the size needed for your recipe.

What is Chinese Celery?
Chinese celery is a leafy, aromatic celery with slender stalks and a stronger flavour than the familiar thick-stalked kind. It is used widely in Chinese and other Asian cooking, and both the stems and leaves can season a dish.
Chop it into soups, stir-fries, noodle dishes or savoury rice, adding the leaves near the end for a fresher herbal note. Its flavour is assertive raw, but mellows as it cooks; finely sliced leaves can also brighten salads. At 14 calories per 100 g, it is a very low-calorie vegetable that provides fibre and vitamin C. Pair it with tofu, beans or other vegetables, or use a small handful when you want its aroma without letting it dominate.
