Chicken Chop Suey Chow Mein image

This is a recipe my mom used to make when I was a kid. I have always loved it and I love it even more with the addition of more spices. Grating the garlic and ginger adds an extra depth of flavor to the broth. Serve over hot cooked rice. I love to pile chow mein noodles on my serving.
