Stir-fried celery with ginger and coriander

Starter Serves 4 20 min

Full of flavour, this light but emphatic 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.
