1
Chicken option: I sliced some chicken breast thinly and stir fried it then continued with the remaining steps and ingredients using sir frying rather than the pressure cooker. Worked wonderfully.
2
Heat shortening in cooker. Dust meat with lightly with seasoned flour and brown meat in batches in hot, smoky oil.
3
Add onion, celery, soy, molasses, and reserved liquids from canned vegetables adding water to equal 1 cup.
4
Cover and set rocker. (The book doesn't specify a setting so I would use 10 lbs) Heat until you get a steady rocking and cook 10 minutes.
5
Allow to cool.
6
Stir in vegetables and heat through. If using fresh bean sprouts cook until they are done to your taste.
