I did purchase those chopsticks in the US, but I cannot remember exactly where I got them. MUJI has pretty nice chopsticks. I also recommend checking out Japanese markets, because they carry this shape (Chinese chopsticks are slightly thicker and the end is not pointed).

Do you remember if the peanuts are soft and is very flavorful? If yes, you’ll be looking at a different recipe – the peanuts are cooked from raw usually with skin on. It’s braised in a aromatic broth (usually with salt and bunch of dried spices such as star anise, bay leaves etc).
The celery is usually quickly blanched, then you mix everything together with a simple dressing, usually a touch soy sauce, salt and sesame oil.
This one is actually a bit different because it has vinegar in it.
I’m going to add this one on my recipe to-do list because I like it too 🙂

I’m looking for a recipe for 芹菜花生 in English. Would this be similar? I had it years ago and loved it. Thanks!

Really great recipe, even with pre-cut baby spinach! I tossed the peanuts in a bit of salt right after frying and added a pinch of MSG to the sauce. I;ll definitely make this whenever I’ve got spinach in the fridge. Thanks for putting it up!

Oops, sorry about the mistake! You should add the ginger at the sauce mixing step. I’ve updated the recipe and now it’s correct.

Also, I’m not great at creating flavor packed salads, but the flavor combos in this sound out of this world!

I love the flavors in this salad Maggie! I recently tried blanched spinach salad, but it was definitely missing something-the crunch from the peanuts. Very easy to make, too!
