Chop Suey

This is one of Wes' favorite meals!  It takes a little bit of time to make it but it's not hard at all.  My 3 year old son really enjoys it also.  I remember when he was 10 or so months old, I would make this for dinner and put it in the blender for him!  He loved it :)  It's very important to let the pork simmer for 2+ hours, it makes it SO tender. 

Chop Suey

1 lb pork (cut up into smaller pieces)
1 Cup flour
Crisco
Salt
Pepper
2 Cups Water
1 Cup Celery
1 Small Onion
28 oz Chop Suey Vegetables
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2-4 Tbsp Corn Starch
Dash of Kitchen Bouquet

Put flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.  Roll pork in flour, then brown in Crisco oil.  Add water, celery, and onion.  Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 2+ hours.  Add chop suey vegetables and soy sauce.  Bring to boil, then thicken with corn starch (mix 2-4 tbsp corn starch with about 1/2 cup milk, mix well, stir quickly while adding to mixture)  Add a dash of kitchen bouquet.  Serve over rice.

Enjoy!
