chop suey

Chop Suey is an “odds and ends” stir-fry of whatever meat and vegetables you have available in the fridge, invented in the early days of Chinese American cuisine.

Chicken Chop Suey

chicken breast

water ((45 ml))

oyster sauce

Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))

vegetable oil

cornstarch

chicken stock ((160 ml))

granulated sugar ((or brown sugar, 1 grams))

soy sauce

sesame oil

white pepper

garlic ((chopped))

mushrooms ((white button

carrot ((45 grams, thinly sliced))

celery ((80 grams, thinly sliced))

bok choy

Shaoxing wine

mung bean sprouts ((3 ounces or 85 grams))

snow peas ((3 ounces or 85 grams))

cornstarch ((mixed with 2 tablespoons water))

Combine the sliced chicken with water, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Massage the chicken until it absorbs all the liquid. Next, mix in 1 teaspoon oil and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until the chicken is uniformly coated. Set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients, and set aside.

Heat your wok over high heat until lightly smoking, and pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil around the perimeter. Spread the chicken in a single layer.

Sear for a few seconds, and then stir-fry the chicken for another 15 seconds, or until it is lightly golden brown and opaque. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside. (It should be about 80% cooked at this point.)

Turn heat back up to high, and add an additional tablespoon of oil along with the chopped garlic. Once the garlic starts to sizzle, add in the mushrooms, carrots, and celery. Stir fry for 20 seconds and add the bok choy. Give everything a good stir and spread the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok to deglaze it.

Next, stir up your prepared chop suey sauce and spread that around the perimeter to further deglaze the wok. Use your wok spatula to give everything a quick stir.

Once the sauce begins to simmer, add in your bean sprouts and snow peas. Also add the chicken back to the wok. 

When the sauce gets to a strong simmer or boil, mix up your cornstarch slurry. Drizzle it into the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a consistency you like. Add more cornstarch slurry mix if you like the sauce thicker. Cook for another 10 seconds to ensure everything is coated with the sauce. Serve immediately with steamed rice!
