How to make celery potato chips

Celery and potato chips are a very simple home-cooked dish with celery and potatoes as the main ingredients. Celery potato chips are easy to make and have many benefits for the human body, including lowering blood pressure.

1. Materials

Ingredients: 1 potato, 2 celery stalks

Accessories: salad oil, salt, garlic, 1 spoon of soy sauce, 1 spoon of black bean chili sauce

2. Cooking steps

1. Cut a medium potato into strips as thick as your finger

2. Two small celery stalks, remove the leaves and cut into sections. The thicker stems should be cut in the middle

3. Add oil to the pan, heat it up, add garlic slices and sauté until fragrant, pour in potato strips and stir-fry, pour in light soy sauce and a spoonful of black bean spicy sauce, stir-fry until half cooked, add celery segments and stir-fry until cooked, add salt and serve

3. Tips

1. Process the celery until it is evenly thick and thin so that it can be cooked together when stir-fried.

2. For the spicy black bean sauce, I recommend Lee Kum Kee’s, which comes in a plastic cup. A spoonful of it makes the sauce taste outstanding.

3. Fry the potato strips until half cooked before adding the celery, so that they can be cooked together. When frying potato strips, they may stick to the pan a little, so you can add a little water.

4. Nutritional Value

Celery's liver-calming and blood pressure-lowering effects are mainly due to the acidic blood pressure-lowering components in celery. Animal experiments have shown that intravenous injection of celery has a significant blood pressure-lowering effect on rabbits and dogs. It is clinically effective for primary, gestational and menopausal hypertension. An alkaline component isolated from celery seeds has a calming effect on animals and a tranquilizing effect on humans, helping to stabilize emotions and eliminate irritability.

Potatoes are rich in dietary fiber. Some data show that their content is as much as that of apples. Therefore, the gastrointestinal tract absorbs potatoes slowly. After eating potatoes, they stay in the intestines much longer than rice, so you feel fuller. At the same time, they can help take away some fat and waste, and have a certain laxative and detoxifying effect.
