- 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
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!
