Why celery is good for you
Did you know that celery is a healthy vegetable? Celery contains a good amount of fiber, vitamin K, and also some Vitamin A and C, Calcium, and Iron. And it is super low in calories! Two stalks of celery is only 15 calories.
How to Stir Fry Celery with Eggs
First, gather your ingredients:

If you haven’t already, cut the celery and then using a knife, cut the celery in to about 1/2 inch pieces. Crush the garlic. And in a small bowl, beat the 3 eggs with a sprinkle of salt.
In a cooking pan or wok, add cooking oil. Allow it to heat up, and then add the garlic.

Now add the eggs in to the pan. Cover and allow the eggs to cook, it should start solidifying.
Once it is mostly solid, scramble everything together, and add salt and pepper to taste.
