GOLDEN GATE CHOW MEIN 
1 lb. lean pork steak
1 c. sliced celery
1/2 c. chopped onion
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. monosodium glutamate

Trim excess fat from meat. Cut meat diagonally into very thin strips. Lightly grease large skillet with excess fat; brown meat on both sides. Stir in celery, onion, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and broth. Cover; simmer 30 minutes.

Blend cornstarch and reserved mushroom liquid; gradually stir into meat mixture. Add mushrooms, Chinese vegetables and brown gravy sauce. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Serve over chow mein noodles. 4 servings.

Beef broth can be made by dissolving 2 beef bouillon cubes in 2 cups boiling water or use canned beef broth (bouillon).

Best chow menu ever. Been making it for years but can no longer find brown gravy sauce in molasses form. What do you suggest?
