Categories     main-dish

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 to 2 1/2 pounds Wah King Noodle Company #4 Chinese Noodles
1 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
5 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons oyster sauce
4 chicken breasts slices into thin strips
6 to 8 pork chops sliced into thin strips
4 cups soy sauce
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 slices crushed ginger
4 cloves crushed garlic
2 to 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons sherry
3 bundles green onions
2 heads broccoli
1 head cauliflower
1/2 pounds tender green beans
5 large carrots
1 large jicama
1 bunch celery
1 pound fresh mushrooms
1 pound Chinese snow peas
2 cans sliced water chestnuts
2 cans bamboo shoots

Steps:

  • Boil noodles in water until tender. Drain and convert to large bowl. Add seasoning, soy, brown sugar, oil, oyster sauce and blend well. Spray large metal broiler pan with cooking spray and spread 1/4 of the noodles onto the pan evenly. Bake at 350 degrees, turning noodles every 10 minutes for 30 minutes total, or until dry. Repeat with remaining noodles, baking 1/4 of the batch at a time. Marinate meat separately. Then, set meat aside in separate marinades while preparing vegetables.
  • Clean, wash, and julienne the vegetables. Set each vegetable aside in separate piles. Bring big pot of water to boil. Partially boil each vegetable group separately dipping them in the hot water for 1 minute or less. Do not par-boil the mushrooms or green onions. Saute the mushrooms in butter until cooked. Once the vegetables are all par-boiled or cooked, you can mix them together in a large bowl, along with the green onions.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a hot stir-fry pan. Remove garlic pieces and ginger from the meat marinade. Divide pork and ginger from meat marinade. Divide pork and chicken into 3 batches a piece. Stir fry each batch very quickly until cooked through and mix meats. Set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Stir fry 2 to 3 handfuls of mixed vegetable for half a minute. Stir in small portion of meat mixture. Add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce while stir frying. Toss together and serve on a bed of noodles. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Be sure to keep the amount of vegetable you are stir frying in small batches until all has been cooked and blended together.

MOM'S CHOP SUEY



MOM'S CHOP SUEY image

Another one of our mother's favorite recipes. Don't know where she got it, but it dates back probably beyond the 1950s. I also don't know whether this is technically chop suey or chow mein--never could figure out the difference. But we love it, regardless. 02-09-16

Provided by Ellen Bales

Categories     Beef

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 or 3 lb stew beef (or may use pork or chicken)
2 Tbsp oil
1 celery stalk (this means the whole bunch)
4 or 5 large onions, chopped
2 medium cans bean sprouts
1 or 2 can(s) water chestnuts, sliced
1 medium bottle soy sauce
1/3 jar(s) chinese brown gravy sauce
2 or 3 Tbsp corn starch
2/3 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Chop onions and celery fairly small and set aside.
  • 2. In a large Dutch oven, brown the meat in oil with salt and pepper to taste.
  • 3. Add celery and onion. Cover with about half the bottle of soy sauce and add water to cover mixture. Bring to a boil and then lower heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
  • 4. Add bean sprouts and water chestnuts, and a little more soy sauce and water if needed (not too much if you want it to be thick). Let this cook for about 20 minutes.
  • 5. In a small saucepan, mix together the brown gravy sauce, the corn starch and water.
  • 6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it gets so thick you can't stir any longer.
  • 7. Immediately remove from heat and stir into the large pot, until very well mixed. Should be semi-thick at this point and ready to serve.
  • 8. I like to serve this over hot white rice and sprinkle with crisp chow mein noodles. And, of course, egg rolls on the side--I cheat and buy frozen ones.

CHOP SUEY RETRO 60'S STYLE



Chop Suey Retro 60's Style image

This is Mama's Mama's recipe from 'back in the day'! I remember eating this as a kid and loving it. When friends came over on Chop Suey night they looked at it and said- No way, I don't eat that! but then tried it and LOVED it too! This was a great way to get us to eat some veggies we otherwise would have turned our nose up at. Hope you enjoy this retro recipe! My mother got it from an old Woolworth's Cookbook. There are lots of items readily available in our times so substitutions and additions are endless! I would add some canned baby corn, and use straw mushrooms and maybe even some fresh bok choy in place of the bean sprouts- i never did care for those anyway! I am also gonna try this now with turkey or chicken bc I don't eat pork or beef anymore. Please zmail me if you remember eating this recipe back then and we can compare hula hoop stats!

  • Mom served this over rice with chow mein noodles on top and extra soy sauce.

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.

1/2 cup celery
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce (mom used Hunts)

1 -1 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (mom probably used A1)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your chop suey casserole more flavor and color. Some good vegetables to use include broccoli, carrots, celery, green beans, snow peas, and water chestnuts.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce. The soy sauce is one of the key ingredients in chop suey casserole, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a soy sauce that is made with natural ingredients and that has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make chop suey casserole, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You might try adding some cooked chicken or shrimp, or you might try using a different type of sauce.
