Chinese Chicken Chop Suey (1-CLICK RECIPE)
Chop Suey is a Chinese American recipe with various rumours circulating about the origins of its invention. Some claim the dish was created by a chef in New York who wanted to create a Chinese recipe that was more palatable to American taste buds, while others believe the dish was inspired by a Cantonese dish called ‘Tsap Seui’ which can be translated as “miscellaneous leftovers”.
The latter becomes more convincing when you discover that Chop Suey is a dish that stir-fries a loose selection of meat and vegetables in a rich in taste but light in colour sauce to be served with rice. Since this recipe is technically of Western influence and origin, there aren’t any specific rules for cooking methods or which meat and vegetables can be used in Chop Suey. However, common combinations include meats such as pork, chicken or fish and vegetables like pak choi, mushrooms, bean sprouts and more! And while there generally aren’t any rules, Chinese cooking wine also known as Shaoxing Wine is an essential non-negotiable ingredient when it comes to preparing the Chop Suey cooking sauce.
One of the best features about this Chinese recipe is how fast and easy it is to prepare and can use as little as one pot or pan. You can save time on prepping some ingredients with vegetables such as baby corn cobs and bean sprouts already perfectly sized to cook with and while typically served with rice you can feel free to skip it because Chop Suey is delicious and hearty enough to enjoy alone.
