    Place a single layer of almonds in a pie tin, and roast in a 425-degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check every 7 or 8 minutes to see if they are toasting but not burning. When one side is golden brown shake the pan and turn to toast the other side. Set aside.

    Trim the chicken of all bone, fat, and gristle and cut in 1/3 – to ½ inch cubes. You should have about 2 cups. If you are using shrimp, cut them almost in half vertically, as for butterflying.

    Heat the oil in a 12-inch iron skillet, adding a pinch of salt and the garlic. Saute for 1 minute, or until the garlic loses its raw look, but do not let it brown. Add the celery and onions and sauté, stirring, over moderate heat about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are bright and begin to soften. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring, until their liquid evaporates.




    Add the bean sprouts, if you are using them, along with the water chestnuts, ham, and chicken or shrimp, and peas. Ladle in about 2/3 cup of the chicken broth, let it come to a simmer, then cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add a little more broth if the mixture is dry. (This much of the dish can be prepared 30 minutes to an hour ahead of time and kept in a double boiler over hot, but not simmering, water. To finish, return it to the skillet and proceed with the recipe).

    Over moderate heat, stir in the tomatoes and season with salt and white pepper. Reduce heat and add the cornstarch mixture. Simmer for 1 or 2 minutes or until the sauce is clear and the subgum is glossy. It is becomes too gelatinous, ladle in more broth and stir until smooth.

    Serve at once on heated, individual plates, atop fried noodles and with rice on the side. Top each portion with a few roasted almonds.

    Variations:

    Chow Mein – Using shrimp, chicken, veal, or beef, prepare exactly as above, eliminating the peas, tomatoes, and almonds, and increasing the amounts of celery, onions, bean sprouts, and mushrooms by about one-fourth.

    Lung Hai Gai Kew- This was my parent’s favorite dish at Lum Fong, both at the Chinatown and Times Square branches. It differs from the subgum recipe only in that it includes lobster and bits of ground pork. Again my mother substituted ground veal (about 1/3 pound for the above amount). Saute the veal before the celery and onions, until the meat is white and the juices evaporate. Then add the vegetables and continue as above. Use only 1 cup of diced chicken and with it add 1 generous cup of diced or sliced cooked lobster meat from the body and claw.
