Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | Shortening |
| 1 1/2 | lbs Ground Beef |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1 | Celery |
| 1 | Cup Hot Water |
| 1 | tsp Salt |
| 1/8 | tsp Ground Black Pepper |
| 1 | Cup Bean Sprouts |
| 1/3 | Cup Water |
| 2 | tbsp Cornstarch |
| 2 | tbsp Soy Sauce |
| 1 | tbsp White Sugar |
Instructions:
-
Heat Shortening:
Start by heating the shortening in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it melts and coats the bottom of the skillet evenly. -
Cook Ground Beef:
Add the ground beef to the skillet and sear it until it cooks through, breaking it up with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks to ensure it’s evenly browned. -
Saute Onion:
Once the ground beef is cooked, add the chopped onion to the skillet and sautΓ© for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant. -
Add Celery and Seasonings:
Next, add the sliced celery, hot water, salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. -
Simmer:
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften slightly. -
Incorporate Bean Sprouts:
Uncover the skillet and add the bean sprouts to the mixture. Stir everything together and let it come to a gentle boil. -
Prepare Thickening Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the cold water, cornstarch, soy sauce, and white sugar. Mix until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. -
Thicken Sauce:
Pour the prepared thickening mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir well to incorporate the mixture into the sauce. -
Cook Until Thickened:
Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking or burning. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Hamburger Chop Suey hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying meal with rice or noodles for a complete dining experience!
