Stir-fry Minced Meat with Celery

For mommies who want to teach their children to eat celery, this is a good start. My girls have now learnt to accustomed to the celery fragrant and eat stir-fry celery on it's own.

The girls like this minced meat dish. Reason being it is easy to chew and swallow, and the sauce is tasty to go with the rice.

I have initially make this dish with just minced meat. And then the dish evolved to become a one dish meal as I started to add in vegetable like string beans or celery. I also added lots of minced garlic since garlic is good in building immune system. 

With this dish, I don't have to make more than a dish for a meal. Fast and simple ...  :)

I have kept the sauce in another bowl. Kids like the sauce to go with their rice.
