The small ribs of organic celery look pretty and are packed with flavour.
For more kick, increase the mustard to 4 tsp (20 mL).

Ingredients

  • 4 outer ribs organic celery, or 3 ribs regular celery
  • 4 slices gingerroot
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp dry mustard powder
  • 1 tbsp light or sodium-reduced soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 2 minced green onions, white parts only
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed coriander leaves

Preparation

Cut each celery rib crosswise in half. Blanch in saucepan of boiling salted water for 45 seconds; remove with tongs and chill in ice water. Drain and pat dry. Cut into 2-inch (5 cm) long pieces.

Add ginger to boiling water; reduce heat to low. Cover and poach chicken until no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken from water and let cool. Remove skin and bones. (Make-ahead: Wrap and refrigerate celery and chicken separately for up to 6 hours.) Shred chicken.

In bowl, mix mustard powder with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water to make paste; let stand for 10 minutes. Whisk in soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Stir in onions.

Place celery on serving plate; top with chicken. Spoon mustard sauce over top. Garnish with coriander.
