Title: Trailer Trash Nachos
The ingredient list is beautifully minimal. It looks suitable for microwave oven cooking. Decades ago i'd call that "sleazy nachos." :)

Title: Chinese Balderdash
Categories: Beef, Chinese
Yield: 1 Batch
MMMMM------------------------BASIC SAUCE-----------------------------
2 tb Corn starch
1/2 ts Dry mustard
2 ts Soy sauce
1/4 c Water
MMMMM--------------------------STIR FRY-------------------------------
1 lb Lean beef
Bok choy; chopped
Canned water chestnuts
Mung bean sprouts
2 tb Cooking oil; +2 tb, divided
Napa cabbage; chopped
Canned bamboo shoots
Soy sauce
If you are wondering about the name of this dish, the real story is
unknown. Balderdash is now defined by the Slang Dictionary as "a heap
of utter crap", but the softer 1950's definition was probably "utter
nonsense". The fact that Edith chose to call this fairly
straightforward stir-fry "Balderdash" is perhaps an indication of her
priorities (career versus cooking) at the time.
Thoroughly mix sauce ingredients. Set aside.
Slice beef thinly and marinate for 10 minutes in soy sauce. Heat oil
until very hot. Drain beef and stir fry until nearly cooked then
remove and set aside.
Heat second portion of oil and stir fry bok choy for 1 to 2 minutes,
then add remaining vegetables. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Add beef
and basic sauce. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Then add about 1 cup mung beans
and cook 1 more minute.
Serve over rice with Chinese mustard and soy sauce on the side.
