Celery Stir-Fried with Kidney Flower

Celery Stir-Fried with Kidney Flower

This **Stir-Fried Pork Kidney with Celery and Mushrooms** is a savory and aromatic dish that brings together tender kidney "flowers," crisp vegetables, and umami-rich mushrooms. The pork kidney is expertly prepared—sliced into delicate strips, marinated with sugar, white wine, soy sauce, and spices for depth of flavor, then stir-fried to perfection. Fresh celery adds a refreshing crunch, while mushrooms enhance the dish with their earthy notes. Quick blanching preserves the veggies' texture, and a final drizzle of sesame oil elevates the aroma. Perfect with steamed rice, this dish balances bold seasonings with tender, well-cooked kidney for a satisfying meal. Ideal for home cooks looking to master a restaurant-style stir-fry!
