Chicken chop suey is a tasty and delicious Chinese-style chicken stir-fry with vegetables. It’s so healthy and balanced that anyone can make it at home. Your best 15 minutes dinner idea.
Tips to make Chicken Chop Suey:
- Always cut the chicken breast against the grain to loosen the tissue. This is how Chinese restaurants get tender and juicy chicken breast that is not bland.
- Always remember that you should not wash mushrooms with water. Use hand or kitchen towels to clean the mushrooms. If you use water to clean the mushrooms, they will soak up water and lose their flavor.
- Cut the baby corn irregularly so that it can absorb the sauce better.
- Separate the roots and leaves of the pak choy and cut the roots in half so that they can be cooked softer.
- Fry the chicken breast in the hot pan. Spread them out in the pan and don’t overlap them so that you can fry them until golden brown. Stir fry them when the bottom is golden brown.
