MOM'S CHOP SUEY
Another one of our mother's favorite recipes. Don't know where she got it, but it dates back probably beyond the 1950s. I also don't know whether this is technically chop suey or chow mein--never could figure out the difference. But we love it, regardless. 02-09-16

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.

[email protected]This chop suey recipe is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. The sauce is a little bland, and the vegetables are a bit mushy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
