1 lb. pork steak cut into 1 inch pieces 
 2 Tbsp. oil until very brown.
 2 cups thin celery slices
 1 cup finely chopped onions,
 1 cup water
 3  tbsp. soy sauce.
 1 average can bean sprouts
 8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms
 1/4 C. cornstarch diluted with enough water to make it pourable
 cooked rice or chinese noodles.
 Cube pork steak into 1 inch pieces and saute in a dutch oven in
 oil until very brown.  Add thin celery slices, chopped onions,
 water, and 3 tbsp.  soy sauce.  Simmer for one hour.  Add bean
 sprouts,. sliced fresh mushrooms, and cornstarch diluted with enough
 water to make it pourable.  Cook until thickened.  Serve immediately
 after mixture thickens over cooked rice or chinese noodles.
 Note:  I like alot of soy sauce, so I usually add about three more
 tbsp.  while the chop suey is cooking. Sometimes I will also add
 a can of either bamboo shoots or sliced water chestnuts to vary.
 It's up to you how much you "soup" it up!
