This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce.

I've always been a fan of classic chop suey, but this modern version is even better! The flavors are more complex and the dish is so much more flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or pork. It's also a really healthy dish that's packed with vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of celery, so I left it out of the recipe. It was still really good!
