  2. Add pork, bouillon soup, chicken, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, ginger, dry minced onions and soy sauce to kettle with celery. Add more water to cover ingredients and 1/2 to 1 cup more. Heat to boiling, stir in cornstarch mixed with water.

This recipe is from Jeremy's Grandma Hazel and it is the best chow mein I have tasted.
