VEGAN CHOP SUEY (FILIPINO-CHINESE STIR-FRIED VEGETABLES IN THICK SAUCE)



Vegan Chop Suey (Filipino-Chinese Stir-Fried Vegetables in Thick Sauce) image

Chop Suey is a vegetable dish composed of assorted vegetables cooked down in a thick, gravy-like sauce. It usually contains pork, shrimp, and often even boiled quail eggs. This Chop Suey is a vegan take on the Filipino-Chinese classic that we'd often have at home. It's a great way to use up leftover veggies and is easily customisable depending on what you have.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tbsp neutral oil
1 small white onion (sliced into squares)
1 small carrot (peeled and sliced)
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup water or vegetable broth (to cook down broccoli and carrot)
220 g vegan protein of choice (I used rehydrated soy chunks (see notes))
1/4 large head cabbage (sliced)
2 small heads bok choy or other leafy greens (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small red bell pepper (sliced into squares)
1 can young corn (sliced)
1 1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
2 tbsp corn starch
1/4 cup room temperature water
1-2 tbsp soy sauce
1-2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Steamed Rice or noodles

Steps:

  • Prepare the vegetables of choice. You'll want to start with the vegetables that take longer to cook. In this case, I started with my carrot and broccoli since these take longer to cook down.
  • Sauce: Mix the sauce together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Surry: Mix the water and starch in a small bowl until diluted. Set aside.
  • To Cook: Heat a large pan or wok over high heat. Once hot, add in neutral cooking oil. Sauté the garlic and onion until translucent & aromatic, around 1 minute. Add in the carrot and broccoli. Over medium to medium high heat, add the water/broth and then cover the pan or wok to allow these to cook in the steam. Leave for around 3-4 mins or until the carrot and broccoli are half-cooked.
  • Add in the cabbage, bok choy, bell pepper, young corn, and other veggies of choice. Stir-fry these over high heat for 1-2 minutes. You'll want to get the veggies crisp and tender without these releasing much liquid.
  • Protein: You can add a little more oil then stir-fry the vegan protein of choice. You can also season this with some soy sauce or veg oyster sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes. If using tofu, see the notes below.
  • Afterwards, lower heat to medium. Mix the sauce again then pour it in vegetables.
  • Leave the sauce to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, give the corn starch slurry a good mix then pour it in the pan. This will help thicken the sauce.
  • Mix the veggies well to coat in the sauce. Taste the veggies and feel free to season with more soy sauce/vegetarian oyster sauce and salt + pepper to taste.
  • Turn off the heat. Serve and enjoy with some steamed rice or noodles.

VEGETARIAN CHOP SUEY (FILIPINO)



Vegetarian Chop Suey (Filipino) image

This is a popular vegetable stir fry made in the Philippines. My good Filipino friend and helper, Marina, has made this for our family several times and we always enjoy it. Use a vegetarian or vegan chicken seasoning like McKay's Chicken Seasoning to make it vegetarian or vegan and use soymilk. Serve it with a side of rice.
