Chop Suey [Recipe + Video] Chopsuí or Chapsui
Description
The chicken is sliced thinly, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, then cooked in hot oil in a wok over very high heat until golden. Vegetables are added in stages, starting with celery, peas, and ginger, followed by carrot, broccoli, and garlic, then bell pepper, bok choy, baby corn, and leek, cooking with quick stirring between additions to retain crunch and freshness.
A sauce made by mixing sugar, soy sauce, and cornstarch is stirred in last and cooked briefly until slightly thickened, binding the ingredients with a flavorful glaze. The high heat and speedy cooking ensure the chicken remains tender and the vegetables maintain some bite. The dish is served immediately to preserve the bright flavors and textures.
