| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and sauté for about 3 minutes until it starts to soften and become fragrant. |
| 2 | Add in the mung bean sprouts, fresh snow peas, sliced carrots, and soy sauce (tamari). Sauté the mixture for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and ground ginger, stirring well to incorporate. |
