The step to cook this delicious Filipino chop suey is easy and straight forward.Chop Suey is a delicious Chinese dish that’s perfect for using up leftovers. While the Chinese or Filipino version is mixed with different vegetables, soy sauce, and protein meat. The American Chop Suey is a pasta casserole that is mixed with ground beef, macaroni, and tomato paste. If you encountered a dish called American chop suey, that is not the same as the Filipino or American Chinese chop suey. In addition to that, I like to eat and serve along with my Filipino noodle recipe- Chicken Pancit Canton. To me, I like to serve this with my Shanghai fried rice which is Chinese style fried recipe or Beef Chao Fan. It may seem too much, but this is normal in our Philippine culture.įor example, with this vegetable recipe, we eat it either with white rice or fried rice. You will notice we put different dishes such as rice, meat, vegetables and noodle on one plate. In the Philippines, when we cook Filipino food, we usually eat with other side dishes or choice of food. This will prevent making your dish watery or soupy. In addition to that, I add the cornstarch-water mixture to make the sauce thick. The soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil add savoriness, sweetness, and nuttiness to the dish. OTHER INGREDIENTS: In addition to vegetables, the sauces are important to make the chop suey flavorful and savory. The quail egg makes this stir-fried vegetable dish tasty, and chicken breast is much healthier than other types of meats. MEAT: In the Philippines, we include meats in our chopsuey, which I add chopped chicken breast and quail egg. You can add other green vegetables of your choice, but to me, this is more than enough. VEGETABLES: In this recipe, I only use 5 kinds of vegetables- Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Bell Pepper, and Carrot. To make a Filipino Chop Suey requires a lot of vegetables since they are the main ingredients of this recipe. On the other hand, the Filipino version does not add any of these ingredients to their dish and they mostly served with rice. However, I noticed the American Chinese Chop Suey added Bean sprouts, and Chinese wine, and they sometimes served with noodles. If you tried chop suey, you will notice that they both use the same vegetables and the cooking method is similar too. Also, you can keep it in the fridge and serve it on other daysĭifference between the Filipino and Chinese American version?
