Chopsuey (Chop Suey) is a mixture of vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. The choice of vegetables is optional depending on their availability and your preferences. The recipe is originally Chinese and has become popular in many cultures and restaurants. Chopsuey literally means assorted pieces. It can be made with meat such as chicken, pork, and beef. It is important not to over cook the vegetables as they will become soggy. Another variation of this dish is to include quail eggs, young corn, and button mushrooms. This dish is commonly served at fiestas and social gatherings but makes an excellent family dinner or lunch, as well.
