To convert the recipe to become lower carb, all I had to do was to omit the rice and throw extra vegetables into the wok.

    Looks yummy! Is that half a rib of celery?

  2. Patrick Butler says:

    Absolutely loved this dish! I used chicken instead of pork, since my girlfriend is not a fan of pork, and it was still wonderful! I added some garlic chili paste for some added heat/flavor. I would definitely recommend it!

  3. Made this at the weekend – it was lovely 🙂

  4. When you say x1 celery do you mean an entire head of celery or just x1 celery piece from the head?

    1. I’m thinking one rib of celery.
