Chop Suey
Chop suey is an American-Chinese dish consisting of meats (often chicken, beef, shrimp or pork), cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mein with the addition of deep-fried noodles.
Chop suey is part of American Chinese cuisine, Canadian Chinese cuisine, and, more recently, Indian Chinese cuisine.
Small restaurants that serve only chop suey and have the word "chop suey" in their names are ubiquitous in low-income neighborhoods in parts of the American Midwest, particularly in the St. Louis, MO and Detroit, MI metropolitan areas. These neighborhood restaurants cater to the urban poor and have become an integral part of inner-city life.
