My Moms Chop Suey Recipes

CHOP SUEY

Steps:

• Heat shortening in a large, deep skillet. Sear pork until it turns white, then add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add celery, hot water, salt and pepper. Cover skillet and simmer for 5 minutes. Add sprouts and heat to boiling.
• In a small bowl combine the cold water, cornstarch, soy sauce and sugar. Mix together and add to skillet mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened to taste.

MOM'S CHOP SUEY

Steps:

• 1. Chop onions and celery fairly small and set aside.
• 2. In a large Dutch oven, brown the meat in oil with salt and pepper to taste.
• 3. Add celery and onion. Cover with about half the bottle of soy sauce and add water to cover mixture. Bring to a boil and then lower heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
• 4. Add bean sprouts and water chestnuts, and a little more soy sauce and water if needed (not too much if you want it to be thick). Let this cook for about 20 minutes.
• 5. In a small saucepan, mix together the brown gravy sauce, the corn starch and water.
• 6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it gets so thick you can't stir any longer.
• 7. Immediately remove from heat and stir into the large pot, until very well mixed. Should be semi-thick at this point and ready to serve.
• 8. I like to serve this over hot white rice and sprinkle with crisp chow mein noodles. And, of course, egg rolls on the side--I cheat and buy frozen ones.

MOM'S FAMOUS CHOP SUEY AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Boil noodles in water until tender. Drain and convert to large bowl. Add seasoning, soy, brown sugar, oil, oyster sauce and blend well. Spray large metal broiler pan with cooking spray and spread 1/4 of the noodles onto the pan evenly. Bake at 350 degrees, turning noodles every 10 minutes for 30 minutes total, or until dry. Repeat with remaining noodles, baking 1/4 of the batch at a time. Marinate meat separately. Then, set meat aside in separate marinades while preparing vegetables.
• Clean, wash, and julienne the vegetables. Set each vegetable aside in separate piles. Bring big pot of water to boil. Partially boil each vegetable group separately dipping them in the hot water for 1 minute or less. Do not par-boil the mushrooms or green onions. Saute the mushrooms in butter until cooked. Once the vegetables are all par-boiled or cooked, you can mix them together in a large bowl, along with the green onions.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a hot stir-fry pan. Remove garlic pieces and ginger from the meat marinade. Divide pork and ginger from meat marinade. Divide pork and chicken into 3 batches a piece. Stir fry each batch very quickly until cooked through and mix meats. Set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Stir fry 2 to 3 handfuls of mixed vegetable for half a minute. Stir in small portion of meat mixture. Add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce while stir frying. Toss together and serve on a bed of noodles. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Be sure to keep the amount of vegetable you are stir frying in small batches until all has been cooked and blended together.
