Instruction

  • Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or large saute pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and cook, in batches if necessary, until the pork is lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the onion to the wok or pan and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft and lightly browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium; add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, until they have exuded their liquid. Transfer to the bowl with the onions and set aside. Add the celery to the wok or pan, adding the remaining oil as necessary, and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, just until crisp-tender. Transfer to the bowl with the onions and mushrooms. Over medium heat, return the pork to the wok or pan; add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and use a spatula to dislodge any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, brown gravy, and salt and pepper to taste. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the sauce begins to bubble at the edges. Add the cooked vegetable mixture, stirring to combine; cook for 3 to 4 minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth, mixing well to combine. Add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until the gravy is thickened.
