cornstarch to the remaining 1/3 cup broth, blend well. 6. Heat a wok
or heavy skillet; add oil to the hot skillet. Add pork mixture and
cook, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. 8. Add mushroom mixture;
cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. 9. Stir in wine mixture and the
cornstarch mixture. 10. Add celery and stir until celery is heated
through. If celery is minced fine enough, it won t need any further

guest fill a lettuce leaf with pork and roll the leaf. This is to be
eaten with the fingers.
