How to Make Chop Suey Retro 60's Style
- If using chicken, stir-fry thinly sliced chicken breast until cooked through. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable shortening in a large pot or pressure cooker over medium-high heat.
- Lightly dust chicken (or substitute meat) with seasoned flour and brown in batches in the hot oil.
- Add chopped onion and celery; cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in soy sauce, molasses, reserved vegetable liquid, and water.
- If using a pressure cooker: Cover and cook according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally.
- If using a pot: Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, partially covered.
- Stir in vegetables (bean sprouts or your chosen substitute). If using fresh bean sprouts, cook until tender-crisp.
- Heat through, ensuring vegetables are heated thoroughly.
