Chop Suey Retro 60's Style

By

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon shortening
    • 1 1/2 lbs pork or 1 1/2 lbs beef, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
    • salt
    • pepper
    • flour
    • 1 large onion, diced
    • 3 cups celery, sliced
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons molasses
    • 8 ounces mushrooms, canned reserve liquid
    • 8 ounces sliced water chestnuts
    • bean sprouts, canned (optional) or bean sprouts, fresh (optional)

    Garnish

    • white rice
    • chow mein noodles
    • soy sauce

Directions

  1. Chicken option: I sliced some chicken breast thinly and stir fried it then continued with the remaining steps and ingredients using sir frying rather than the pressure cooker. Worked wonderfully.
  2. Heat shortening in cooker. Dust meat with lightly with seasoned flour and brown meat in batches in hot, smoky oil.
  1. Add onion, celery, soy, molasses, and reserved liquids from canned vegetables adding water to equal 1 cup.
  2. Cover and set rocker. (The book doesn't specify a setting so I would use 10 lbs) Heat until you get a steady rocking and cook 10 minutes.
  3. Allow to cool.
  4. Stir in vegetables and heat through. If using fresh bean sprouts cook until they are done to your taste.
  5. Mom served this over rice with chow mein noodles on top and extra soy sauce.
