Debra Samuels' book, My Japanese Table, is filled with great recipes. One recipe in particular is a dish I make when I come to my last few stalks of celery. Celery kinpira. Simply cut up the celery, saute in a bit of oil, and then add some sugar, sake, and soy sauce. For a little kick add some togarashi (dried red chili pepper) or shichimi togarashi. It's a great side dish to any meal with rice.
