This is a super simple recipe - getting the water up to boiling takes the longest, and I didn't bother removing the celery threads. A great way to use up a bunch of celery! Refreshing and delicious. I would recommend less soy sauce, start with a little and see how it tastes. I added 2 tablespoons and the recipe was still way too salty.
