Chicken chop suey or stir-fried chicken with vegetables is a traditional Chinese dish that is commonly served at takeout restaurants. In this blog post, I will show you how to make this delicious and easy dish at home with simple ingredients. You can use chicken, beef or pork for the protein, and any leftover veggies that you have in your fridge.
Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast, boneless and shredded
- 1/2 tbsp each of soy sauce, cooking wine, oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy and mushrooms
- 1/2 cup white onion, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp each of oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt and sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, pepper, cornstarch and oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, sugar and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
3. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the vegetables for 1 minute and drain. If using mushrooms, skip this step and cook them with the chicken later.
4. In a large skillet or wok over high heat, heat some oil and stir-fry the chicken until cooked through and golden. Add the mushrooms if using and cook for another minute. Push the chicken and mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the onion to the other side. Cook until soft and translucent.
5. Add the blanched vegetables and the sauce to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
6. Sprinkle the green onions on top and serve over cooked rice.
Enjoy your homemade chicken chopsuey!
