Yep, I follow the China forum on eGullet (and occasionally read a couple of the other forums). Some of the discussions on there are very useful.

I've seen celery cold dishes (usually celery with peanuts) on quite a few Chinese menus, but I've never ordered one, so I'm not sure how to go about making it. I did find this recipe in Chinese, which I think I have just about managed to make sense of with the help of the Google Translate version. I don't know whether you read Chinese, so maybe you can decipher it better than me, but I think what it says is to simmer 1 cup of red-skinned peanuts for 40 minutes in 2 cups of water flavoured with 1 package of stewing spices (滷包 — Google image search is informative), 2 pieces of star anise (I think they have ハ where they mean 八, which is confusing Google Translate), and 1 tsp salt, then drain them and mix with chopped celery (either raw or briefly blanched) and dress with sesame oil.
