Ingredients
- 2 onions
- 1 1/2 cups celery
- 1 1/2 pounds pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cups bean sprouts
- 16 ounces beef broth
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups rice
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering and preparing all the ingredients. Slice the onions, celery, and pork into thin strips for even cooking. Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly and set aside. Dissolve the cornstarch in the beef broth and ensure it’s well mixed.
-
Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers slightly, indicating it’s hot enough for stir-frying.
-
Sauté Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and celery to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften and turn golden brown. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
-
Add Pork and Sauce: Once the vegetables are tender, add the sliced pork to the skillet along with the soy sauce. Stir well to coat the pork evenly with the sauce. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the pork to cook through.
-
Incorporate Bean Sprouts: Gently fold in the bean sprouts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the skillet. Cook for another couple of minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Thicken Sauce: Pour the cornstarch and beef broth mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and reaches a glossy consistency.
-
Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and the pork is cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Pork Chow Mein hot alongside cooked rice or chow mein noodles for a delicious and satisfying meal.
