1. Dice and cook pork as in Basic Deep-fried Pork (see recipe). 2. Dice Chinese cabbage, celery, onion and bamboo shoots. Stem snow peas. Crush garlic. Blend cornstarch, soy sauce and water to a paste. 3. Heat oil. Add salt, then garlic, and stir-fry to brown lightly. Add all vegetables; stir fry 2 minutes. 4. Stir in and heat stock quickly, then cook, covered, over medium heat until vegetables are nearly done (about 2 minutes). 5. Add deep-fried pork cubes and cook, covered, only to heat through (about 1 minute). Then stir in cornstarch paste to thicken and serve at once. NOTE: Leftover deep-fried pork cubes can be used in this recipe. They may be combined with other stir-fried vegetables in the same way. From The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
