  2. 2 Cut the celery into 5 cm pieces, separating the stems from the leaves.
  3. 3 Pan-fry the fish for 2 minutes on each side, then remove it to prevent it from falling apart when stir-frying the vegetables.
  4. 4 Sauté the garlic, then add the celery stalks and stir-fry for 60 seconds, before adding the leaves and stir-frying for 20 seconds.
  5. 5 Add the fish back in, season with fish sauce, then shake the pan instead of stirring with a spoon, and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
