chop suey

Updated on Nov 21, 2014

I like to make this when I have a bit of excess produce left over at the end of the week. I serve it over white rice and usually enjoy a cup of oolong or jasmine tea with it. You can make this with any kind of meat you have, beef, pork, chicken or shrimp. I used Chinese pea pods, water chesnuts, carrots, celery, mushrooms and green onions and sliced up a couple of bottom sirloin steaks to make the one in the picture. Also the recipe is doubled in the picture.
