Stir-Fry Celery with Fresh Squid

This is another Chinese stir-fry dish that I really enjoy. The celery and the squids are cooked separately and then combined in the final stir-fry, as the squids will get tough when overcooked. If you are like me, as I love stir-fry vegetables where they remain crisp and fresh, then try this dish.
