CHOP SUEY



Chop Suey image

This is the fast and easy chop suey recipe that my mother always made, and we love it 'as is', but you could substitute a can of Chinese mixed vegetables for the bean sprouts if you like more color and texture. Serve over hot rice, topped with chow mein noodles and soy sauce, if desired.

MOM'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY (1950'S BASIC)



Mom's American Chop Suey (1950's Basic) image

A school lunchtime classic. Quick and easy to make. Very bland but has remarkable taste. My sister has tried it and say it's just as she remembers Mom's. All you need to finish this recipe is some Kraft shaker cheese to complete the memory. Mom probably got the recipe from a 1950 vintage Betty Crocker cookbook. Quantities are approximate. Mom seldom measured anything. We usually make a double batch. Enjoy. If you add a bit of garlic powder, chili powder and a can of kidney beans you would create Mom's Chili Mac Recipe.

CENTRAL AMERICAN CHOP SUEY



Central American Chop Suey image

This is a traditional christmas side dish in Honduras (usually served along side Nacatamales). You can also add shrimp to the dish but I usually will not do this if I am planning to serve for a large party as shrimp can go bad in 1-2 hrs and it will spoil the entire dish. I also use gloves when peeling the ayote because it has a sticky residue that leaves your hand peeling and very dry. I do not recommend buying the cabbage pre-shredded because when it comes time to stir fry, the cabbage is cut so thin that it burns very quickly. I rather shred with a knife. You can also completly omit the meat and make it vegiterian!
