You may want to edit that recipe. A stalk of celery is a *LOT* of celery.
A rib of celery, on the other hand, (or two) is a more reasonalbr amount for the recipe.
It's a (pretty much) one-man pedantic campaign to set right an unintentional wrong in the recipe wrold. Bv)=
I looked it up and usda.gov agrees with you. :-) I didn't make this recipe, but i changed it from "stalk" to "rib". Changing the world one recipe at a time...
has a subtly different flavour. I use celery in many things as a "bulk" agent ... like my chilli. It adds a vegetable thickener without resorting to flour (roux) or cornstarch/arrowroot slurry.

That's interesting, i had not thought of celery as a thickener.
I am familiar with using okra for that, like in a gumbo.

who would dehydrate "slippery jacks", an edible but slimy mushroom,
grind them to a powder, and thicken soups with that powder. The last
time i made split pea soup, after refrigerating it, it formed a clear
gel on top, as though it contained gelatin. It was vegetarian, so i
am guessing the gel came from the peas.

Cool recipe, thanks for sharing it!
Here's a very recent entry in my database that seems to be
both tasty and right up your street,
Title: Cold Sesame Noodles
* UDD sez: If you are garnishing w/chopped peanuts why
spec "smooth peanut butter"? Makes no sense to me.
