Ingredients

Scale

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, beef, or shrimp (thinly sliced)
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup celery, sliced
  • 1 cup bok choy or napa cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

For Serving:

  • Steamed white rice or noodles

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sugar, chicken or vegetable broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Cook the Protein: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, beef, or shrimp. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Stir-fry the onion and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the carrots, celery, and cabbage, cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Toss in the bean sprouts, bell peppers, and mushrooms (if using). Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
  • Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked protein to the wok. Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed white rice or noodles.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vegetables and protein based on what you have available or your personal preferences (tofu, pork, or shrimp are great alternatives).
  • Adjust the level of sweetness or saltiness in the sauce to taste by modifying the sugar and soy sauce.
  • Chop Suey can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a day or two, making it great for meal prep.
