Vegan Sapasui (Samoan Chop Suey) image

One of the islands that makes up Samoa is called "American Samoa". Chop suey is not a Chinese dish! It's an American Chinese dish, and, apparently - a Samoan staple! From Gormandize.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 16

14 ounces extra firm tofu
1 teaspoon vegan beef stock powder (can use Beef Style Seasoning(Or Chicken Style))
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
5 ounces mung bean vermicelli (sometimes also called cellophane or glass noodles)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 inch piece ginger, grated
1 celery rib, sliced
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 Chinese cabbage, sliced
1 bunch Broccolini, cut into 3/4-inch lengths (or broccoli)
1/2 cup vegan beef stock
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketjap manis

Steps:

  • Crumble the tofu into a bowl. Stir the stock powder into the 1/4 cup hot water and add the soy sauce. Stir this through the crumbled tofu and set aside to absorb the flavour.
  • Remove the noodles from the packet and soak in cold water (for about 10-15 minutes, while you get the rest of the dish together).
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok. Add the onion, ginger and garlic. Sauté until the onion is cooked.
  • Add the marinated crumbled tofu and any remaining liquid in the bowl. Cook until any liquid is dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
  • Add all the vegetables and the beef stock, soy sauce and ketcap manis. Simmer until the vegetables are just tender and the liquid has reduced to about half.
  • Drain the noodles that you've been soaking in cold water and throw them in the wok. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are cooked and hopefully by this stage you shouldn't have too much liquid left in the wok. I recommend serving immediately - if you leave it hot in the wok the noodles will overcook and break up a lot (not that this matters very much!).
