Chop suey (pork with vegetables)

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 teaspoons Oil
2 cups Cold diced roast pork
2 Carrots; pared, sliced thin diagonally
1 Kohlrabi, peeled, quartered, sliced thin
1 Onion, diced
1 Chinese vegetables, mixed, c anned; drained
3 teaspoons Soy sauce
Water
Salt
Rice; cooked

Directions

# Note: Fresh vegetables may be substituted for the canned Chinese vegetables. Use about 2 to 3 cups of a combination of thinly sliced green or sweet red pepper, celery, mushrooms, etc. plus a cup or so of bean sprouts. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet. Add the pork and cook, stirring, over high heat for about 1 minute or until any bits of fat on the pork are crisp. Add vegetables, soy sauce, and a couple of tablespoons of water and toss to mix. Cover skillet and cook over medium heat only until carrots and turnip are crisp-tender. This will take less than 10 minutes if the vegetables have been cut thinly enough. Stir in 2 tb. cornstarch mixed with about 1 cup of water to make a sauce and cook for a minute or less, stirring gently, until thickened. Serve with rice.
