Like something for myself :))))ĭELICIOUS! It was worth every minute of veggie chopping just to hear my spouce say 'mmmm' with every bite. I feel I wasted a lot of money that I could have bought something else. I measured from taste, not measuring spoons but I did follow the recipe to the letter to see what the reviews are talking about. I had some hoison sauce in the fridge so I dumped some in. Done it most of my life & I know whats good. I was really disappointed in this dish.Like another viewer mentioned it was a bit bland. It's just fantastic! It's so unbelievable delicious that we had to have it two days in a row! Love this recipe! Best chop suey we've ever had! You won't be disappointed if you try this recipe. I also had on hand some chinese crunchy noodles, so we put some of these on top at the table. Next time I think I will add a cup of no salt vegetable broth to increase the amount of thickened sauce. I did not use chicken broth, I used a japanese soup base instead. I served it over chinese linguine noodles.

I'll keep on making this one as it tastes better than from the local restaurant.Įveryone at the table enjoyed this dish. Great recipe and one the whole family will eat! I doubled the amount of oyster and soya sauce but kept all other ingredients the same. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!ĭelicious version of this dish. My husband and I savored every flavorful crisp and crunchy bite. This is definitely not my mother’s Chop Suey! Lol. Fresh and unique items are readily available now, so I don’t have to cook like she did. My mom made Chop Suey with all those canned, soggy La Choy ingredients, but still we loved it at the time. I’ve been trying to do retro recipes from my childhood. Bring sauce to a boil, undisturbed, then stir to combine with pork and vegetables. Make a well in center, then stir broth mixture and add to well. Drizzle 1 tablespoon vegetable oil around side of wok, then stir-fry pork until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Reheat wok over high heat until a bead of water evaporates immediately.

Stir together chicken broth, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Transfer each vegetable as cooked to bowl with celery. When stir-frying bok choy, begin with ribs, then add leaves and 1 tablespoon water after 1 minute. Reheat wok and stir-fry each remaining vegetable separately in same manner (but allow only 1 minute for bean sprouts), adding 1 teaspoon oil to wok before each batch and seasoning with salt. Drizzle 1 teaspoon vegetable oil around side of wok, then stir-fry celery, seasoning with salt, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Heat a wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. They will shrink in size considerably.Stir together garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch in a bowl. If you don’t want them crunchy add them the last 10 minutes of cook time. They will cook from the heat of the sauce as it sets.

I love the crunch they give when added just before serving. I never cook my bean sprouts any more either. The celery and onions would almost melt in the sauce. My grandmother cooked her chop suey for several hours. If you like your vegetables on the crunchy side (but tender) I would add them the last 20 minutes of cooking time instead of at the times stated in the recipe. You can use pork stew meat but I would cook it 30 minutes before I added any vegetables to the pan. For this dish I had some thick cut sirloin pork chops and a small piece of tenderloin I needed to use. I tend to use whatever kind of pork is on sale for this. Chop Suey is so much better the second day! I’ve managed to scale this recipe back so it will feed 4 people and maybe leftovers. It is one of those dishes that can feed a crowd and it’s hard to make just a small amount of it.
