  simmer sauce for 2 or 3 minutes until it is clear and thick enough to
  coat a spoon lightly. Cover pan partially and keep sauce warm over
  lowest possible heat. Pour 2 Tbsp of the vegetable oil into heavy 12"
  skillet; heat oil until it reaches 350 degrees on a deep frying
  thermometer. Combine bean sprouts with strips of onion, celery and

  over high heat. Turn pancakes with a slotted spoon after 30 seconds
  and fry for another 30 seconds, or until they puff and are golden
  brown. Serve at once, garnished with a scallion and accompanied by
  the hot mushroom sauce. Original Source: American Cooking: The
