Description
Chop Suey is a quick and delicious stir-fry dish featuring chicken and a variety of vegetables, served over rice or noodles.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, onions, bean sprouts, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, chicken broth, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Add a splash of chili sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- You can also toss in other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for extra nutrition.
