rinsed, drained and sliced. *** Hamburger buns should be split and toasted. Cook
and stir the meat and onion in a large skillet until the onion is tender. Drain
off the excess fat. Mix the water, cornstarch, soy sauce, molasses and ginger
and stir into the meat mixture. Add the bean sprouts and water chestnuts. Cook,
stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils, about 5 minutes.
Serve on the toasted buns and pass the soy sauce. NOTE: For Chow Mien omit the
buns. Serve the chow mien mixture over hot cooked rice or chow mien noodles.
