Sorta' Chop Suey
Here's a simple chop suey recipe that is quick, delicious and simple.
Cut 4 stalks of celery and 1 large onion:
If you have fresh mushrooms, chop up an 8 oz package too. I don't always have fresh, so I use 2 cans.
Saute the veggies in a couple of tablespoons butter. If using canned mushrooms, you can throw them in later.
When the veggies are soft, add 2 or 2 1/2 pounds ground beef. This is a good time to throw in the canned mushrooms. Cook the beef thoroughly. Meanwhile cook up about 2 1/2 cups dry rice.
I know, I know, you are asking about the bean sprouts, but I never seem to have those on hand. So, I just leave them out and put in extra veggies. But if you have them, by all means, throw some in!
When the meat and veggies are done, add 3 cups of chicken or veggie broth. Simmer about 10 minutes.
Whisk together 4 tablespoons each corn starch and soy sauce.
It looks really lumpy and as if it will not mix, but it will.
Add the corn starch mixture to the meat and veggies and simmer another 5 minutes or so.
When the rice is done, add that and stir well.
Serve with cashews or crunchy noodles or peanuts. Or all of them!
