Chop suey is a Chinese dish which literally means different pieces, making the dish looked attractive, that is why I like chop suey because it has lots of different vegetables. This is my first choice when it comes to vegetable dishes. It is believed that this dish originated in America from Chinese immigrants and came out in an article "Chinese cooking" in 1884. The original recipe has sprouted beans and many Asian countries adopted the recipe and made different versions, my Pinoy version that I've learned from my sister in law.
Exotic or not? that is the question. :-) Of course this recipe is not exotic if this is an ordinary food for you, but for those who do not know that chicken liver can be eaten, it is really weird or exotic for them, I cooked this because I challenged one friend from U.K that chicken liver can be eaten, he said yuck! Then we laughed! As I am about to put it in my mouth he said throw it away! I said noooooooooooooo it is really yummy hahahahaha, funny. Anyway liver is rich in iron therefore it is good for our health. Eat it.
Easy to prepare and so delicious.
