"... why not use it up?" YES! Subscribed, man. More cooking like this and less internet style of having the correct number of grams of precisely the right ingredients. Chop suey lends itself to the style, for sure, but appreciate you making the point.

Awesome, thank you!

You're Wok skills are great!. I'd like to ad a bit of fresh ginger in my Chop Suey and some water chesnuts!

Sounds like a great addition! - Lee

[@GolDreadLocks]

I guess you can put what you want in chop suey, but the well known is- a bit of shallot or sliced onion, some diced garlic, (optional thin sliced carrot), scallion, -chicken/beef/shrimp/ - your choice of protein, bean sprout, sometimes chinese cabbage, but I have never seen asparagus! corn or potato starch slurry, oyster sauce, soya sauce, sometimes hoisin, chicken broth, pinch of salt, white pepper, sometimes palm sugar, sometimes a few drops of chinese wine, the basic recipe

@@SchoolofWok We put more varieties of vegetables like peas, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, etc or whatever veggies you have. Sometimes we put miki noodles. But the oyster sauce is always there. 🙂

[@tomikehoward]

I love it when he started with: “…chop suey. I have no idea what it is.” Honestly people in east Asia don’t grow up with this food, there’s some similarity to typical stir fry veggies and meat, but it’s not called Chop Suey

@@SchoolofWok What I meant was the main ingredients that you should always have in your cupboard like soy sos, oyster sauce etc. The ones that you use the most and are versatile in most recipes. 😂 I'm sorry about the confusion.

I have never easten Chop Suey. I thought it was an American invention of how they thought Chinese food was. I understood the Chop Suey literally means Copped up bits and pieces. You made it look good. Thank you.

[@SchoolofWok]

That's exactly what chop suey is! It was made by Chinese people in the US as a way to basically use up leftovers - Lee

[@marklynch8781]

Very different from traditional American version. Think pork, onions, celery, molasses, soy sauce, optional mushrooms and bean sprouts. Served on rice.

you should get a bigger mixing bowl for mixing the chicken

[@edemarycardona2387]

Thanks, I love your recipe.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks! - Chris

[@kayabtin6861]

Had you added some noodles this could also be a new invention of chicken noodle soup with fried veggies. That sauce had no consistency and just drained down to the plate. A no no in Chinese cuisine but loved by the French.

[@SchoolofWok]

It's usually served with rice, so the rice can soak up the sauce - Lee

[@saintghi8974]

We have the similar dish here in Indonesia called Cap Cay. Two version came with it, with the broth one and the stir fry one. Actually Capcay invented by the Chinese, but here in Indonesia we use any veggies we had in store but usually we use carrot, broccoli/cauliflower, baby corn, nappa cabbage, bok coy, green bean and others. But we use some cloves of garlic and bit chopped gonger to infuse the flavour. Some people use few dash of fish sause into it. It's a healthy and everyday food in Indonesia. Sometimes we shared the same things with different name in asia right?

@@SchoolofWok well I'm having to get an electric wok because although I have a very nice radiant cooktop electric in this case it can't go and handle a regular wok so I'm having to get an electric wok but that's okay electric ones are good my mom and dad had one for the longest time although theirs was West Bend mine is going to be a nice Oster one. And mine will be non-stick so I won't have to go through the hassle of seasoning the thing.

[@marzsit9833]

this recipe looks good but most of the restaurants in america that made chop suey/chow mein did it in a much simpler way.. they would stir-fry everything starting off with the meat, remove it from the wok then stir-fry everything else starting with the longest-cooking vegetables and finishing with the shortest-cooking vegetables, add the meat back in along with some stock, and thicken it with a corn starch/corn flour and water mixture until it was quite thick with a lot of sauce, then serve it over rice as chop suey or over crispy fried noodles as chow mein. so basically a meat and vegetable stir-fry in a thick sauce served over 2 different bases with 2 names for the same dish. few restaurants still make it, modern chow mein is lo mein, stir-fried meat and vegetable with lots of soft boiled noodle. chop suey is pretty much extinct unless you ask for it in the right restaurants.

It's funny, when Jeremy said "I have no idea what it is." My thought was "Me too, Jeremy." Chinese American here and I literally had no idea WTF chop suey was and still never tried eating it before. It was only a few years ago I even realized what it was because I've never been to a restaurant or went to someone's house whoever served it. To be honest it kind of looks like every other stir fried dish my family makes and eats.

[@patrickhenigin4805]

In the 50's and 60's virtually every restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown had a sign out advertising chop suey. Now it's gone! I don't see it anywhere.
