CHICKEN CHOP SUEY

Chop suey has always been my favorite dish at Chinese restaurants, and after several tries I've managed to come up with this dish that tastes very similar to the chop suey at my favorite Chinese restaurant. There is a lot of chopping, but it's well worth the effort. The prep time depends on how quickly you can chop. We like it with vegetable fried rice or honey-garlic spare ribs.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for the vegetables in chop suey.
  • Cut Meat and Vegetables into Uniform Pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, and spices will add flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet will allow you to stir-fry the ingredients quickly and evenly.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When stir-frying, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Stir-Fry in Batches: If you are cooking a large amount of food, stir-fry in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.
  • Add Sauce Last: Add the sauce last, once the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through. This will prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve Immediately: Chop suey is best served immediately, while the vegetables are still crisp and the sauce is hot.

Conclusion:

Cantonese chicken chop suey is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce, it is a dish that the whole family will enjoy.
