We are doing the same thing for this recipe. It has been a common in Filipino cooking to start cooking most dishes by sautéing garlic and onion. I recommend using oils that have a high smoke point. Simply pour and spread around 3 tablespoons of oil on a wok and then start to pan-fry once the oil is hot. There is no need to rub salt or any seasoning on it. Prepare the shrimp by pan-frying for 1 minute per side. Talking about pan-frying shrimp, this is the first step in this recipe.

What are the health benefits of Chop Suey?īecause Chop Suey did not actually come from the Philippines, the dish’s nutritional content may differ. In the Philippines, it has mainly involved the sauce, the meat and the vegetables, instead of noodles or pasta. But because of Filipinos’ love for white rice as a side dish, they tailored Chop Suey to the country’s taste mainly as a viand. In America, they enjoy this meal solely with a fork and no spoon because of the noodles. However, this also differs from the American Chop Suey that usually utilizes noodles and ground meat. I incorporated these 3 sources of protein, alongside some quail eggs. This could range from chicken to pork to seafood like shrimp!

While its exact origin is still under debate, some have claimed that it came from Taishan, Guangdong.
But what actually happened is that after a great number of Chinese immigrants went to America, they brought with them the famed dish. It was said that Chop Suey was actually initially seen in America. But legend has it that it was not even born in China like Hopia, which shockingly has its origins in Japan. There are a great many stories swirling around about the origins of this famed dish. And if these efforts work out, we end up with something along the lines of the greatly endeared Chop Suey. But shockingly enough, some of the most famous dishes arose from mere accidents or efforts to whip out a meal that won’t taste half bad. And this hopefully creates a dish dancing with flavors on your tongue. Essentially, all recipes seem to be but a thoughtful intermingling of various ingredients.
