Mom's Chop Suey
Yet another extremely white Midwestern take on Chinese food
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef roast cubed
- 1 lb Pork cubed
- 4 stalks Celery sliced
- 2 Onions sliced
- 1 can Mushrooms
- 1 can Bean sprouts
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Bead molasses
- 1 tbsp Corn starch
Instructions
- Gently pan-fry the meats without adding much color
- Add onions and celery, stir-fry for a few more minutes.
- Add water and soy sauce. Let cook until meats and vegetables are tender.
- Add mushrooms.
- Mix bead molasses with corn starch. Mix in a small amount of pan juices, then mix back into the pan to thicken the gravy.
- Add bean sprouts and heat through.
- Serve over rice. Or, heck, a hamburger bun I guess. Why not?
Notes
Like many of mom's recipes, this came to me entirely without measurements of any kind. The measurements I've put here are guesstimates, yet to be corroborated by mom.
