Is This Book for You?

To the person who is a thousand miles from a Chinese Restaurant. To he or she who would appreciate the opportunity and consider it a matter of pride to be able by a little practice in the art of an unknown science, to treat their friends, and themselves, to some of these remarkably delicious, fascinating, toothsome dishes.

To the man, out in the woods, in camp, on shipboard, at the club, who feels that the connecting link to unalloyed happiness would be a good big dish of Chop Suey. To the persons who are fond of Chinese dishes, but unable to eat them with the same relish in a Chinese Restaurant as they could at home.

To the woman who hears hubby talk about the dandy feed he had at the Chinese Restaurant, and who would welcome the chance to be able to treat him with the surprise of his life.

To these people I open the door to the secrets of Chinese cookery, giving them the methods herein used by the greatest Chinese Chefs in the world. By supplying you with the imported Chinese flavoring sauces and vegetables I make it possible for you to cook these foods in the ONLY GENUINE WAY.

To these people I respectfully dedicate this little book, with the hope that now and then my efforts may be appreciated by the fellow in the woods, or the lady who loves to cook (and eat Chop Suey.)

VERNON GALSTER, Morris, Ills.

IMPORTED CHINESE SUPPLIES

The Chinese flavoring sauces and vegetables called for in these recipes can be purchased from the publisher of this book. An illustrated catalogue containing prices and descriptions of the various imported ingredients will be sent FREE for the asking.

CHINESE CHOP SUEY

For Two Portions

(Prepare all of these ingredients before starting to cook the Suey)

1 POUND LEAN PORK (Sliced size and thickness of half dollar.)

1 CUP SPANISH ONIONS (Sliced thin.)

1 CUP CELERY (Sliced thin crosswise. Remove leaves.)

1 CUP CHINESE MUSHROOMS (Soak in water until soft. Remove stems, slice.)

5 CHINESE WATER CHESTNUTS (Pare and slice thin.)

1 TABLESPOONFUL CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

1 TABLESPOONFUL CHINESE SWEET SAUCE.

3 DROPS SESAMUN OIL.

1 TEASPOONFUL CORNSTARCH (Dissolved in a little water.)

Cook in an iron kettle on a very high flame.

Fry the pork until half done, using about a tablespoonful of lard, meat fryings or peanut oil. Add the onions and fry a few minutes longer; then add the celery, mushrooms, Chinese water chestnuts and salty sauce together.

Cover with tight fitting lid and allow to cook in its own juices for about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding water or soup stock (hot) if necessary to prevent burning.

Then turn flame low and stir in thoroughly the Chinese sweet sauce, sesamun oil and corn starch, and it is ready to serve. Serve on oblong chop suey dish, and with it serve rice (cooked Chinese style) and Chinese tea.

RICE (Cooked Chinese Style)

Wash a half pound of good quality head rice (Jap style rice will not cook properly in this manner) and cover with water. The depth of the water above the rice should be exactly the same depth as the rice.

Boil fast, stir frequently until all of the water is absorbed by the rice, then cover with tight fitting lid and set on low flame (with asbestos pad between) for 30 minutes, and leave without stirring.

NOTE—Careful attention should be directed to the size of the flame which is used during the 30 minutes. Understand that you are to have as much heat as the rice will stand, without stirring, at the same time without burning it.

CHINESE CHOP SUEY

Extra Fine

Made the same as Chinese Chop Suey, but omit the cupful of Spanish onions and use a half cupful of the bamboo shoot instead. Cut the bamboo shoot very thin and small.

CHINESE CHOP SUEY

Fine Cut

Make the same as Extra Fine Chop Suey but cut all of the ingredients smaller and thinner.

CHINESE CHOP SUEY

With White Mushrooms

Make the same as Extra Fine Chop Suey, but use a half canful of the French Mushrooms (small size are best) instead of the Chinese Mushrooms.

LAMB, VEAL AND TENDERLOIN OF BEEF CHOP SUEY

Follow out the directions given for making Extra Fine Chop Suey, but use the meat you desire instead of pork.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY

Plain

Made with the same ingredients as Chinese Chop Suey, but use very little of each of the Chinese sauces and very little of cornstarch. Use a cupful of chicken or beef stock in the cooking of this, adding it when the vegetables are added. On account of the gravy in this Chop Suey, it is served in soup bowls. There is a special sized bowl used for serving this.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY

Extra Fine

Make the same as plain American Chop Suey, but omit the onions and use bamboo shoots (cut thin) instead.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY

Fine Cut

Make the same as Extra Fine American Chop Suey but cut all ingredients smaller and thinner.

CHICKEN CHOP SUEY

For Two Portions

1 POUND COOKED CHICKEN (Sliced thin, cut small.)

1 CUP CELERY (Sliced thin crosswise. Remove leaves.)

1 CUP CHINESE MUSHROOMS (Soak in water until soft. Remove stems.)

7 CHINESE WATER CHESTNUTS (Pare and slice thin.)

1 CUPFUL BAMBOO SHOOT (Cut thin and small.)

1 TABLESPOONFUL CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

1 TABLESPOONFUL CHINESE SWEET SAUCE.

3 DROPS SESAMUN OIL.

1 TEASPOONFUL CORNSTARCH (Dissolved in a little water.)

Cook in round bottomed iron kettle, or any deep porcelain kettle will do, and use a high flame.

Place the celery, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoot and a cupful of chicken or beef stock in kettle, cover tightly, and allow to cook for about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Then add the chicken to this and allow to cook 4 minutes longer. Now turn flame low and stir in the Chinese salty and sweet sauces, sesamun oil and cornstarch. Serve with bowl of rice (cooked Chinese style, see page two), Chinese tea and a few Li Chee nuts.

CHICKEN CHOP SUEY

Fine Cut or White Mushroom

Fine Cut is made as above, but cut all ingredients smaller and very thin. White Mushroom Chop Suey is made same as above, but omit the Chinese mushrooms and use a half canful of the French mushrooms instead.

CHINESE CURED PORK

Cut strips of pork ½ inch thick (shoulder or butts) and trim off all fat. Place in pan and cover with ½ cupful of Chinese salty sauce diluted with 2 cupfuls of water. Let simmer slowly until the fluid has nearly cooked away, or until done. Turn the meat frequently.

Pork prepared by this method is used as a garnish for Yet Ca Mein, and is the important ingredient for Eggs Fo Young.

EGGS FO YOUNG

For Two Portions

¼ POUND CHINESE CURED PORK (Cut into fine shreds.) (See page 4 for recipe for curing pork.)

½ CUP BAMBOO SHOOT (Cut into fine, long shreds.)

4 CHINESE WATER CHESNUTS (Pared and cut into fine shreds.)

½ CUP CELERY (Cut into fine, long shreds.)

1 STEM OF GREEN ONION TOP (Cut small.)

6 EGGS.

1 TEASPOONFUL CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

Mix all of the above into a batter (don’t stir too much) and fry into six oval omelets or cakes on a low flame. When done, make a gravy by putting into the lard in which the cakes were fried in, a cupful of water, a half teaspoonful of Chinese sweet sauce and a teaspoonful of cornstarch.

To serve, place 3 cakes for each portion on a flat chop suey dish and cover with the gravy. Serve with bowl of rice (cooked Chinese style) and Chinese tea.

EGGS FO YOUNG

With Shrimp, Lobster or Chicken

Substitute the same quantity of cooked shrimp, lobster or chicken meat for the Chinese cured pork and proceed the same as plain Eggs Fo Young.

YET CA MEIN (Noodle Soup)

¾ POUND NOODLES (Fresh noodles are best. Dry noodles can be used.)

4 SLICES OF CHINESE CURED PORK (Size and thickness of a dollar.)

4 SLICES BOILED CHICKEN.

1 HARD BOILED EGG. (Cut in two.)

2 TEASPOONFULS CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

2 CUPS CHICKEN OR BEEF STOCK (Hot.)

Boil the noodles in not less than a gallon of water, to which you have added a pinch of salt, until done. Then drain in colander, and put half in each bowl, in which you have already poured a cupful in each of the hot chicken or beef stock and added the teaspoonful each of the salty sauce.

Garnish by placing the half hard boiled egg in center, and the two pieces of each of the cured pork and chicken near edge. Serve with Chinese tea.

WAR MEIN (Extra Fine Noodle Soup)

For Two Portions

1 POUND NOODLES (Fresh made noodles are best.)

2 CUPS CHICKEN OR BEEF STOCK (Hot.)

2 TEASPOONFULS CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

1 TEASPOONFUL CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

1 GREEN ONION STEM (Cut small.)

1 DROP SESAMUN OIL.

½ TEASPOONFUL CORNSTARCH (Dissolve in a little water.)

Boil the noodles in not less than a gallon of water to which has been added a pinch of salt, until done. Requires about 20 minutes. Then drain in collander and put half the noodles in each bowl, in which you have already poured a cupful each of the hot chicken or beef stock and the teaspoonful each of the salty sauce.

Make the Chop Suey while the noodles are boiling as follows: Fry the pork until half done, using a teaspoonful of lard or meat fryings. Then add the celery, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoot, salty sauce, ½ cupful stock and stew on a high flame (use tight fitting lid) for about ten minutes. Then stir in the sesamun oil and cornstarch. Cover the noodles with a layer of this Chop Suey and garnish it with the shredded green onion stem.

WAR MEIN

With Chicken

Make same as above but use chicken meat (cooked) instead of the pork.

WAR MEIN

With White Mushrooms

Make the same as War Mein but use about a half canful of the French mushrooms instead of the Chinese.

CHOW MEIN

(Fried Noodles Covered with Chop Suey)

For Two Portions

1 POUND NOODLES (Must be freshly made. Shake apart.)

1 EGG (Scrambled and cut in fine shreds.)

½ POUND LEAN PORK (Cut in fine shreds.)

1 TEASPOONFUL CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

1 DROP SESAMUN OIL.

1 TEASPOONFUL CORNSTARCH. (Dissolve in a little water.)

After shaking the noodles well apart, drop them in hot lard at least 3 inches in depth, the same you would in French frying potatoes. Fry about 4 minutes and turn the noodles over. When done to an orange color, drain and place on a large platter and cover with the Chop Suey, made as follows:

Fry the pork until half done, using a tablespoonful of lard or meat fryings. Then add the celery, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoot, salty sauce, ½ cup stock and stew on a high flame (use tight fitting lid) for about 10 minutes. Then stir in the cornstarch and sesamun oil. Cover the fried noodles evenly with this Chop Suey and garnish by covering the entire food with the shreds of fried egg.

Serve with Chinese tea and Li Chee nuts.

CHOW MEIN YEB GUM

With Chicken and White Mushrooms

Made the same as Chow Mein (plain) but substitute French mushrooms for the Chinese, and chicken meat for the pork.

BIRDS NEST SOUP

For Two Bowls

2 OUNCES BIRDS NEST (Soak in water over night.)

4 CUPFULS HEAVY CHICKEN STOCK.

1 CUPFUL WHITE MEAT OF COOKED CHICKEN (Cut in fine shreds.)

2 TEASPOONSFUL CHINESE SALTY SAUCE.

Drain the birds nest in collander and remove the feathers that might be found and wash in two or three changes of water. Boil 30 minutes in the chicken stock (after having strained it and removed all fat.)

Add the Chinese salty sauce and chicken meat and serve in soup bowls; and with it serve rice and Chinese tea.

Instructions for Serving a Dinner in Complete Chinese Style Called “Dinner of China”

(For Four Plates)

GAI GUNG MAIN
(Chicken Soup with Noodles)
FO YOUNG DON
(Eggs in Fo Young Style)
TONG YUN CHOP SUEY
(Chinese Chop Suey)
LI CHEE
(Li Chee Nuts)
CANTON OR OOLONG CHAR YET WOO
(Pot of Canton or Oolong Tea)

CHICKEN SOUP WITH NOODLES. Follow out the recipe for making Yet Ca Mein, but omit the garnish entirely. See page 5 for recipe for Yet Ca Mein.

EGGS IN FO YOUNG STYLE. See page 5 for recipe for Eggs Fo Young. Fry 8 cakes from the amount of batter and serve two for each portion. Serve on the oblong flat Chop Suey dishes.

CHINESE CHOP SUEY. See page 2 for instructions for cooking. Serve this course with a bowl of rice cooked Chinese style. Use the oblong Chop Suey dishes for serving.

LI CHEE NUTS. This desert is served on any small fancy dish.

CANTON OR OOLONG TEA. In steeping Chinese tea, allow it to steep considerably longer than ordinary tea, in fact, bringing it to a boil will not impair the flavor. A pot of this tea should be served with the first course. The small Chinese tea cups are used and individual Chinese tea pots (red earthenware) are the correct thing.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
