Have you ever tried the Chop Suey? It is a very tasty recipe that can serve almost as a single dish in an evening. You will have a world of pleasure ahead, but do you want to know what story is hidden behind this dish?
The great majority relates the Chop Suey with Chinese food. It is like that, but its origin is not found in this continent, but in America. It is believed that it was invented at the end of the 19th century by Chinese emigrants who settled in the USA. It is said that it was the result of an improvised dinner that the noble Li Hung Chan, emissary of the Imperial Majesty in the USA, ordered. The nobleman's cook had to figure out what he had in the kitchen to please the guests of Hung Chan. He mixed meat with vegetables and voila, the dish was made.
Another story tells that it was invented in a Chinese tavern, to which some very hungry sailors arrived. As it was the last hour of the day, the pantry was almost empty, so the owner of the store combined all the supplies that remained in one dish.
The name of the recipe comes to mean "mixed variety", so it can be said that it is a combination of ingredients (meat or fish) with vegetables and all wrapped in a dense sauce. To accompany it usually goes with boiled rice or fried rice.
