Quoting shakespeare at me, are you? I can't forget Anne of Green Gables response to that. something like "but names do matter. I don't think the Rose would have been as happy and pretty if people had called it "Frog Feet" or something. It would have hurt its feelings, don't you think?"
Well, I suppose you could argue that to call that particular dish "American chop suey" is both an insult to the Chinese and great American cooks everywhere.
I'll send a recipe in a PM. It's not difficult, only time-consuming. It's delicate and fragrant and fabulous with braised baby bok choy.
My husband loves bok choy, me, no.
Oh, then sautéed oyster mushrooms. Whatever Chinese veggie you decide to cook.
I've never had braised bok choy, so I might like that. love sauteed mushrooms.
I'm friends with the family that runs the local Chinese food place. They have confirmed that what they sell bears no resemblence to what they eat at home. LOL! I'm a sucker for it, though. My new favorite is egg rolls with duck sauce. The egg roll is just about the perfect portion size for my tum tum, and there's nothing wrong with duck sauce.
...and now I'm hungry!

I read somewhere that chop suey was invented in San Francisco Chinatown around the turn of the last century. Made up left overs that had to be used up. I believe fortune cookies are supposed to have been invented at around the same time and place.Chop Suey is American, I think

What kind of tea?
Lapsang souchong, preferably. If that's not around or available, jasmine works fine.
I can't take you anywhere with me.
I'm partial to pepper steak, and soup. But I won't order soup on Fridays, however.
That's great, because according to OoO (today, anyway), no soup for you!
Right on. Never touch it on Friday.
I love eggs rolls with duck sauce and just a smidge of hot mustard. When I order Chinese I get 2 egg rolls and a bowl of hot & sour soup. And then I can't get my rings off when I go to bed that night. It's an occasional treat.
I was so inspired by the day that I took my Tall Guy out for China buffet. I got my egg roll. And 1 piece of butter potato. And two bites of black pepper chicken. I'm still pretty miserably stuffed. No regrets.
I am waiting for this recipe. I am serious. I want to try this. We have an asian market so use whatever you would use, meaning you don't have to substitute something American for a hard to find asian ingredient.
