VEGAN SAPASUI (SAMOAN CHOP SUEY)



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.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

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!).

This is from alohaworld.com. I'm posting it for ZWT7-South Pacific. Note: The weight of the bean thread is a guess. Just use 4 regular sized packages. New Zealand corned beef was specified but any canned product will work.

I love this recipe! It's cheap, delicious and fast to prepare. It comes from an old boyfriend's mum. She is Samoan and a great cook. As this is a Samoan recipe, you can bet it's going to feed a small army.

  • Prepare the noodles as per the pack instructions (place hot water in a bowl and add the noodles, let stand until they are re-hydrated and plyable).
  • Snip the noodles, you want each strand to be short.
