CHOPSUEY (WITH CHICKEN, LIVER AND SHRIMP)

Chop suey or Stir-fry veggies. My mom’s version of chop suey or stir-fry vegetables is with pork. But you’ve got to try this chicken version.

Specially, if you’ve been eating so much food in the past few days, maybe now is the time to eat something light today. Try munching on all the veggies with less rice. Very good for your diet.

Chopsuey according to Wikipedia is originally an American-chinese cuisine. It is basically composed of different types of vegetables and protein such as meat, eggs, or shrimp added with different spices and thickened sauce. And of course paired with rice! Though it didn’t originate in the Philippines, this is common dish in most filipino households. Filipinos just love this stir veggies with thickened sauce.
