Since vegetables can have different cooking times it is essential to take them into account to add them all together or separately to be done correctly
There are many oriental dishes that we can enjoy at home. Of course, you do not have to travel to the Asian continent to consume them, or even go to a Chinese restaurant. You can prepare a delicious chicken and vegetable chop suey in your own kitchen.
Chop suey chicken and vegetables
The "bad tongues" say that this dish was invented in the United States at the beginning of the 19th century. For a Chinese immigrant, yes. Apparently he mixed the ingredients that he had at hand and that reminded him of his native country and accompanied it with rice.
Beyond this story, the name of the dish means "mixed pieces". They may have invented it in China or in America, but the truth is that it is delicious and very easy to prepare. In addition, it "accepts" all kinds of elements.
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
1 small zucchini
½ red pepper
1 carrot
200 grams of bean sprouts
1 teaspoon grated ginger (5 g)
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon of sesame oil (5 g)
50 ml of soy sauce
Sunflower oil
Preparation
Peel the onion and cut it into thick julienne. Wash and cut the rest of the vegetables in sticks, peeling the necessary ones.
In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce with the finely chopped garlic and the grated or ground ginger.
In a wok (or it can also be a large saucepan or pan) place 5 tablespoons of sunflower oil and heat over low heat.
Put the vegetables on fire, stirring occasionally so they do not burn. When they are tender, incorporate the bean sprouts.
Chop the chicken and pour into the wok, stirring well and cooking about 5 minutes.
Pour the soy sauce with garlic and ginger, in addition to the rest of the soy sauce.
Cook 10 more minutes and ready, all at the table.
You can accompany the plate with a bowl of white rice for each diner and, if you dare, you can eat using sticks.
