In skillet heat oil till smoking, add pork, stir fast over high heat until meat cooked (3 min.). Add water chestnuts, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, celery, and broth. Stir, blend, lower heat, and cover. Cook till celery is tender, but crisp. Add pods, cover, and cook about 5 minutes. Mix starch, water, stir fast into mixture. Cook, stir till mix bubbles & thickens. Season to taste. For spicier, add 1 crushed garlic clove, or 2 tbsp. soy sauce (I use the soy sauce, gives it a good taste).
