Cook in round bottomed iron kettle, or any deep porcelain kettle will do, and use a high flame.

Place the celery, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoot and a cupful of chicken or beef stock in kettle, cover tightly, and allow to cook for about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Then add the chicken to this and allow to cook 4 minutes longer. Now turn flame low and stir in the Chinese salty and sweet sauces, sesamun oil and cornstarch. Serve with bowl of rice (cooked Chinese style, see page two), Chinese tea and a few Li Chee nuts.
