**This recipe is especially nice because celery is readily available, in any season. Traditionally, celery was not used in Chinese cooking, but during a recent trip to China, I discovered celery being served in the best restaurants. Add celery to other Chinese recipes, if you like. Hold the stem of a hot green chili and cut off the tip with scissors. Loosen the membranes and seeds with tip of scissors blade; discard. Cut chili into thin slices with scissors.
