Brown beef/pork in steam-jacketed kettle or stock pot.
Sprinkle beef/pork with pepper and ginger.
Add water, soy sauce, and molasses; bring to a boil; cover; simmer 1 hour or until tender. CCP: Internal temperature must reach 145 F. or higher for 15 seconds.
Add onions, celery and cabbage to pork mixture; mix well; cover; bring to a boil; reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and water. Stir slowly into hot mixture, stirring constantly. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened.
Add bean sprouts; mix well; bring to a simmer. CCP: Hold for service at 140 F. or higher.
Serve with 1/3 cup chow mein noodles and steamed rice.
This would be made in 4-5 batches due to the volume of food.

You will need 50-60 pounds dry rice for plate size servings for 500.
