What is a chop suey? Chop suey is American Chinese cuisine, however there are other forms of chopsuey prepared across the globe, consisting of meats (often chicken, fish, shrimp, or pork) and even eggs, cooked quickly with vegetables such as beans, sprouts, cabbage, carrots bound in a starch-thickened sauce served with crunchy noodles.
One can find this dish sold across indian chinese restaurants since we enjoy this dish during monsoon and winter months. I have created a vegan version, this recipe can be altered according to the ingredients avaiable in your country.
