Buster Keaton’s Chop Suey
Grease an iron pot with 3 tablespoons peanut oil and add 1 cup raw, lean pork, cut into cubes and allow to cook until brown.
Now put into pot mixed vegetables and allow to steam under tight-fitting lid. The mixture of vegetables consists of:
2 ½ cups water chestnuts cut in cubes, 2 ½ bamboo shoots, 2 cups Chinese greens cut in small pieces, 2 cups celery chopped into small pieces, 1 cup chopped onions, 3 cups canned mushrooms, chopped, 5 cups bean sprouts, ½ cup chopped salted almonds.
After steaming for 30 minutes, chicken stock is added to moisten. Thicken with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Thin with chicken stock if too thick.
Dice whole roast chicken, being careful to use no skin or fat parts; place in pot and cook slowly for 15 minutes.
Add soy sauce as seasoning and to give it proper dark color.
This recipe should serve 8 persons.
