Thread: Chop Suey recipe?

My dd come up w/the idea of having chop suey for supper. I remember when my Grandma used to make it in her pressure cooker. Does anyone know if I could use her recipe but in a crock pot?

I've looked on several crockpot recipe sites, and don't really find anything for pork (I believe that's how granny made hers) How do you make your chop suey?

1 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 lg. can bean sprouts
1 lg. mushrooms
1 lg. can chop suey veggies

JUICE:
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. water
3 tbsp. soy sauce

Brown meat. Dice round steak. Mix all ingredients cook in crockpot on low all day. Cook on stove in pot 1 hour. Mix until thickens..

Back in the late 40's Dad would drive downtown (2 miles) to a Chinese restaurant and buy Chop Suey for the Sunday dinner about once a month. This was pre-fast food, pre-delivery. Don't know what kind it was but it was always eaten up. Haven't had it in years and no clue how to make it.

I found this one. I haven't tried it, but it sounds right!

5-6 pork steaks, cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
(If you have a pressure cooker, it does wonders in tenderizing the pork.)
1 yellow onion, sliced into long slivers.
3 stalks celery, sliced thin on diagonal.
8-10 fresh white mushrooms sliced into small hunks (or 2 small cans of stems and pieces)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cans bean sprouts, undrained
4 tablespoons molasses
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 can chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Heat oil in deep pan (pressure cooker or dutch oven), add butter and heat until it begins to bubble.

Add pork cubes; don't stir for approximately 2 minutes to permit the pork to brown.

Stir and add onion, celery, then mushrooms.

Sprinkle in white pepper.

Let cook over medium heat, stirring often, until celery and onion slivers are tender.

Add chicken broth, soy sauce and bean sprouts.

Now add the molassas, and stir.

Taste for proper balance of sweet and salt flavor, adding more soy sauce or more molassas to balance flavor.

Cover pot and simmer for at least an hour.
If using pressure cooker, bring up to slow rocking pressure, and cook for 10 minutes. Let cool on its own, then remove cover and let simmer slowly for about 20 minutes.

When pork is totally tender, and you have the proper sweet/salt flavor, mix corn starch into water and add to pot.

Bring up heat just to the boil while stirring.

Lower heat and let "cook" for about 15 minutes.

Thank you for the recipes! I appreciate your help!
