I doubled the sauce, used 5 cloves of garlic, added hot red pepper flkes and hot chili paste and a couple of teaspoons of sherry. I have been cooking a long time so I made some minor adjustments based on what I know we like, but overall I followed the recipe. Like something for myself :))))ĭELICIOUS! It was worth every minute of veggie chopping just to hear my spouce say 'mmmm' with every bite. I feel I wasted a lot of money that I could have bought something else. I measured from taste, not measuring spoons but I did follow the recipe to the letter to see what the reviews are talking about. I had some hoison sauce in the fridge so I dumped some in. Done it most of my life & I know whats good. I was really disappointed in this dish.Like another viewer mentioned it was a bit bland. It's just fantastic! It's so unbelievable delicious that we had to have it two days in a row! Love this recipe! Best chop suey we've ever had! You won't be disappointed if you try this recipe. I also had on hand some chinese crunchy noodles, so we put some of these on top at the table. Next time I think I will add a cup of no salt vegetable broth to increase the amount of thickened sauce. I did not use chicken broth, I used a japanese soup base instead. I served it over chinese linguine noodles. I'll keep on making this one as it tastes better than from the local restaurant.Įveryone at the table enjoyed this dish. Great recipe and one the whole family will eat! I doubled the amount of oyster and soya sauce but kept all other ingredients the same. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!ĭelicious version of this dish.
