Chopsuey

Chopsuey , the Filipino stir fried vegetables loaded with chayote, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and different meats like pork and chicken.

Chopsuey is one of the first vegetable dish I learned to eat when I was a child, it’s so flavourful and chunky you won’t notice you are eating vegetables. This Chinese dish usually consists of mixed vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and cauliflower with different meats, usually cooked quickly in a high searing heat over a wok. A very popular dish everywhere but since it’s a generic mix any veggies dish each country have their own variation depending on the vegetables readily available on the country, an example is Philippines where we are used to adding chayote on the dish, in Polynesian countries they add vermicelli rice noodles and in Malaysia they use oyster mushrooms.

Now try it with your own variation or use the recipe below if you want to be safe.
