This was a big hit at a committee meeting at church. I had to share the recipe with 3 of the ladies. One of them hates soy sauce and she said she loved it so I must have added just enough for flavor but not so much that it overwhelmed it (it was 5 teaspoons).

I used half a can of water chestnuts and half a can of bamboo shoots. I did not add celery just because I did not have any at the time. When it said "cover and simmer until vegetables are tender" I ended up simmering it somewhere from 30-45 minutes. The liquid gets soaked up as it finished cooking so watch to make sure it doesn't scorch when it gets close to being done.

It worked out perfect for me though, I cooked it in the church kitchen and it was smooth sailing. :-)
