Chop Suey
Chop Suey is a stir fried vegetable dish with meat and shrimp. This version has everything on it, including boiled quail eggs. The Chinese first introduced this to the Philippines, and it was embraced wholeheartedly until it became localized.
This recipe for chop suey is a quick and easy one. I made sure that the meats (chicken and pork were used, by the way) are cooked properly. These must be brown and tender. the vegetables, on the other hand, should be fresh and crisp. I tried my best to not overcook them. The shrimp was pan-fried for 1 minute per side and was added back towards the end of the process.
I like chop suey with quail eggs. This is the reason why I have it in this recipe. Fresh quail eggs are recommended. I am saying this because canned brined quail eggs are available in the market. It might look more convenient because the shells of the boiled eggs were already removed. However, It has funny taste. I am guessing that it might be from the brine and preservatives.
