Stir-fried celery with ginger and coriander

Starter Serves 4 20 min

Full of flavour, this light but emphatic vegetarian side works well with fish and noodles, and especially fish cakes. It's very quick to prepare and requires few ingredients, making it a good way of jazzing up an otherwise uneventful midweek meal.
