Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |

| 6 | Celery stalks | |
| 1 | tablespoon | Soy sauce |
| 1 | tablespoon | Vinegar |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | teaspoon | Sugar |

Directions
1. Remove leaves, tough ends and stringy portions of celery stalks; then cut in 1-inch sections. (If stalks are wide, cut lengthwise in half first.) Blanch to soften slightly. Place in a bowl.
2. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar and sesame oil. Add to celery and toss.
3. Refrigerate, covered, only to chill (about 20 minutes).
NOTE: If the celery is young and tender, blanching isn't necessary.
VARIATIONS: Before step 2, add any of the following to the celery: ABALONE: ½ cup canned, either slivered or cut in strips. Omit the vinegar; double the soy sauce.
CHICKEN: 1 cup cooked, either slivered or cut in strips. Omit the vinegar.
SHRIMP: ¼ cup, cooked and minced. Omit the sugar.
WALNUTS: ½ cup, shelled and blanched.
