This was my mother's recipe that she cut from a magazine back in the sixties. It always made any meal special. I enjoy freshly ground black pepper on this salad. Veggie amounts can vary according to availability and personal tastes. Prep time varies. I guess-timated figuring my slow chopping time. Cooking time is chilling time.

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables beforehand: Chop and slice your vegetables before you start cooking to save time and ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the vegetables and meat.
  • Cook the meat in batches: If you're using a lot of meat, cook it in batches so that it doesn't steam instead of browning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the vegetables, don't overcrowd the skillet or they won't cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables until they're tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook them or they'll become mushy.
  • Add the sauce and cook until heated through: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the sauce and cook until it's heated through.
  • Serve over rice or noodles: Farmers chop suey is traditionally served over rice or noodles, but you can also serve it over quinoa or other whole grains.
