Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small white onion peeled & diced
  • 4 stalks celery thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 -2 1/2 cups cubed, cooked pork
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 14 oz can bean sprouts drained
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oi

Instructions

  • Add the butter to large skillet set over medium high heat. Once melted, stir in the onion & celery. Cook until the onions are translucent. Transfer the veggies to a waiting bowl or plate.
  • Add the oil & pork to the hot skillet. Stir the pork, cooking just until lightly crisped. Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Return the veggies to the skillet, and stir them in to evenly combine.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients to the skillet, stirring to evenly incorporate.
  • Cover the skillet with a lid and continue cooking the mixture until it's cooked down and taken on all the flavors, roughly 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally & scraping the bottom of the pan as you do. Add water or broth, as needed, if too much liquid cooks out of your pan.
  • Serve the chop suey over a bed of steamed white rice, and enjoy!
