The secret to this easy and delicious chop suey recipe is to use oyster sauce to create a thick, savory gravy that perfectly coats each bite of chicken and vegetable. Unlike other chop suey, this chop suey recipe is based on the Indonesian chop suey that I grew up eating called capcay goreng or capcay bakso. Capcay is similar in taste to Malay or Filipino chop suey. The sauce is savory and often uses a mixture of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Then to make the thick gravy, the sauce is thickened with a cornstarch or tapioca flour mixture. I love having this chop suey over a bed of hot white rice or with crispy noodles. It’s the perfect way to use up whatever vegetables you have left in the fridge.
What you need to make this chop suey recipe
You can use almost any type of vegetables that you prefer or have on hand for this chop suey recipe. However, the most common vegetables that are used include onions, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bak choy, carrots, squash, and bell peppers. I also enjoy having chop suey with canned baby corn or canned mushrooms!
You can add a protein, such as chicken or beef. The Indonesian capcay version often includes Asian fishballs, fishcake, or meatballs that you usually find in Asian hotpot. Hard boiled quail eggs are also a common replacement for the protein. However, this recipe is already satisfying and delicious with vegetables alone!
Chop suey ingredients
- 1 lb chicken cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cups broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cups cabbage cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup squash cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup mushrooms (any type works, however, I used king oyster mushrooms)
- Asian fishballs or fishcake cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 small 1 inch pieces of ginger
- 2 stalks green onions cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/4 small onion sliced
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
chop suey Gravy SAuce
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (I prefer using light soy sauce which is more mild in flavor)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2.5 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
- To thicken gravy: 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 1/2 cup water
How to make chop suey
- Clean, chop, and prepare vegetables and protein. You can follow the vegetables I’ve listed for this recipe or whatever vegetables you have or prefer. However, total you should have about 7 cups of vegetables and 3 cups of protein. Your vegetables should be about double the amount of proteins you use. Try to cut vegetables and proteins into equal bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, and chicken bouillon. In a separate small bowl, add cornstarch with water to make thickening slurry. Set aside.
- In a large frying pan or wok, heat up 4-5 tablespoons of cooking oil using medium-high heat. Add in minced garlic and stir fry until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add in chicken or whatever protein you are using to the wok. Season chicken with a sprinkle of salt and white pepper. Stir fry until chicken is ready (about 5 minutes). Add in mushrooms and fishballs. Cook for another 3 minutes or until cooked.
- Add in ginger pieces, onions, and green onions. Stir fry for 30 seconds.
- Add in cabbage, broccoli, and squash. Stir fry for 30 seconds.
- Add in sauce mixture and mix everything together. Add in about 3 cups of water or just enough water to fill the pan below the top of your vegetables and protein (just barely covering the ingredients). Bring to a boil.
- Add cornstarch and water slurry. Mix everything together and continue cooking until desired tenderness of vegetables (about 3 minutes). Serve chop suey with a bowl of hot rice or with crispy noodles!

One thing I’d like to say is that often car insurance cancellations is a dreaded experience and if you’re doing the correct things like a driver you will not get one. Some people do obtain the notice that they have been officially dropped by their particular insurance company and several have to fight to get additional insurance after a cancellation. Low cost auto insurance rates usually are hard to get from a cancellation. Knowing the main reasons for auto insurance cancelling can help people prevent burning off one of the most vital privileges offered. Thanks for the strategies shared via your blog.

One important issue is that if you find yourself searching for a student loan you may find that you’ll need a cosigner. There are many circumstances where this is correct because you should find that you do not have a past credit rating so the financial institution will require that you have someone cosign the borrowed funds for you. Great post.

These days of austerity as well as relative stress and anxiety about incurring debt, many individuals balk about the idea of using a credit card in order to make purchase of merchandise or maybe pay for a holiday, preferring, instead just to rely on the particular tried and also trusted technique of making settlement – cash. However, if you have the cash available to make the purchase entirely, then, paradoxically, this is the best time just to be able to use the credit card for several reasons.

I’ve asked my older sister countless times to format my computer because I’m experiencing lag in the game I play. Btw, this computer has been formatted 4-5 times. But whenever I ask my sister to format my computer, she says no because she says that if you format a computer too much, the computer itself gets slower than it already was. Is this true? Or is that an excuse to get out of formatting my computer because it takes away her 2-3 hours?.
