We had this for dinner last night and it turned out awesome. And so easy to make too!

vegetable oil
1 1/2 lb pork loin, cut into pieces
1 large can chop suey veggies
1 small can bean sprouts, drained
1 small can water chestnuts, drained
soy sauce to taste
about 4 cups low sodium chicken or beef broth
1/4 cup cold water
1 T cornstarch

Preheat oven to 350°.

Heat a little oil in an ovenproof Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add pork and cook til nice and browned. Add veggies and soy sauce and stir.

Cover and bake for 1 1/2-2 hours or til pork is very tender.

In a small bowl, mix together water and corn starch. Stir into chop suey; simmer over medium heat til thickened.

Serve chop suey over white rice and topped with rice noodles.

I love Chinese food. Haven't had chop suey for years.....always liked it! I would probably have to spice it up a bit as I like spicier Chinese dishes.

Ever tried Sambal Oelek? It's my go to condiment for Asian dishes.
Barbara G. Nov 3, 2010, 3:12pm UTC
No I haven't. Never heard of it either. What is it and where do you buy it?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 4, 2010, 10:41am UTC
Do you have a Kroger nearby? Or maybe Walmart might have it.

It's in the Asian food section in a clear bottle with a green top.

Oh it has been so long since I had chop suey. I love Chinese food. When I was younger and lived in town my neighbor would make it and invite me to lunch. She could cook anything better than a chef.
Donald M. Nov 3, 2010, 5:04pm UTC
LOL I just emailed two copies to myself and printed out two copies. Now I can try it. Finally got some ink.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 4, 2010, 10:40am UTC
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out!
Donald M. Nov 4, 2010, 8:25pm UTC
I will let you know when I can make it. Have a strict food budget right now. Having hot dogs tonight. Had the supplies in the pantry, frozen hot dogs. After that who knows.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 5, 2010, 11:05am UTC
I have a strict food budget too. I hate not being able to just get what I want :(

I think I am the only person in the US who does not enjoy rice. :)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 4, 2010, 10:40am UTC
My dad and sister don't either.
Robin G. Nov 4, 2010, 1:37pm UTC
Ick.
Donald M. Nov 4, 2010, 8:26pm UTC
I don't mind having rice, if it is nice and done. That quick stuff is hard and I don't like it.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 5, 2010, 11:03am UTC
The worst thing is underdone rice.
Elaine A. Nov 4, 2010, 12:45am UTC
I think my husband would love this ;-)
Thanks Shannon I will make this for dinner
Renda B. Nov 4, 2010, 8:40am UTC
I told my husband we needed to relocate. He looked at me like I was crazy. I couldn't explain to him that I knew where some of the BEST food was being served up...LOL.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 4, 2010, 10:40am UTC
LOL! You are too funny!

(So what did he say?)
Renda B. Nov 4, 2010, 11:18am UTC
He said he was the darn chef....LOL. The he said, but tell her thanks for the recipes and ideas...ahahaha.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 5, 2010, 11:03am UTC
I love it! Thanks for sharing that with me, Renda.
Robin G. Nov 4, 2010, 1:38pm UTC
