Happy family is a popular Chinese stir fry dish which consists of colourful vegetables like broccoli, baby corn, mushrooms and carrots mixed cooked with different meats like beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, lobster and scallops served in flavourful brown gravy.  A really funny name to call a dish but it has its reason why it is named as such, I guess just by looking at the list of ingredients you can already tell why its named like that (mixing all of different stuff together to have a happy family, I am not sure if that even makes sense to you).

For Filipinos this might sound familiar as we have a similar dish called Chopseuy which I think is a trimmed down version of this dish.  A well balanced meal where in one plate you can have your meat and vegetables all you need to do is enjoy it with rice, noodles or even on its own.
