Chop Suey {2 recipes}

Chop Suey
1 lb. lean pork, cut in bite sized pieces
1 lb. veal, cut in bite sized pieces
2 c. chopped onions
3 c. chopped celery
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. molasses
1 can mushrooms
1 can bean sprouts
flour (to thicken)
3 T. chop suey sauce

Fry meat for 10 minutes. Fry onion and celery 10 minutes. Put all together and add water to nearly cover. Put in chopped green pepper. Simmer an hour, adding more water if necessary. Then add molasses, seasoning, mushrooms, and sprouts. Thicken with flour (No amount listed. Cornstarch would be more consistent with Chinese cooking. I'd say 1 or 2 tablespoons mixed with 1/4 to 1/3 cup cold water.); stir in chop suey sauce.
