Filipino Chicken Chopsuey

Chop suey is one of my childhood favorite dishes. It is a classic Chinese dish that has been adopted by Filipino cuisine for many years. All of the veggies in this recipe gives it lots of vitamins and fiber (very healthy). The method of cooking is easy & quick; sauté & mix all the ingredients in a wok, then voilà...it's time to eat already! You may add beef, chicken or shrimp whichever you prefer for the dish, or just plain veggies if you are vegetarian. Have a happy cooking.
