Pork Chow Mein

 Mrs. J (United States) says:
This is a very good recipe only I cook mine a little differently. Grind the pork and brown. In the same pot add liquid ingredients and then vegetables. Cook with lid on until vegetables are soft. Just before serving add cornstarch mixture. This is what was known as American Chow Mein in many Chinese restaurants years ago.
