VEGETARIAN CHOP SUEY (FILIPINO)



Vegetarian Chop Suey (Filipino) image

This is a popular vegetable stir fry made in the Philippines. My good Filipino friend and helper, Marina, has made this for our family several times and we always enjoy it. Use a vegetarian or vegan chicken seasoning like McKay's Chicken Seasoning to make it vegetarian or vegan and use soymilk. Serve it with a side of rice.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and ensure that your chop suey is cooked evenly.
  • Use High-Quality Vegetables: Fresh, crisp vegetables are essential for a delicious chop suey. Choose vegetables that are in season and at their peak ripeness.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for cooking chop suey. It allows you to toss the vegetables and sauce easily.
  • Add the Sauce Gradually: Start by adding a small amount of sauce and then gradually add more until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve Immediately: Chop suey is best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
