In reply to Trina. yes, beef broth will definitely give it more of a deeper color; you can also add a touch more soy sauce as well!

I haven’t made this recipe yet. I was looking for something like what my mother in law made. It was so delish! She would never give me the recipe. She has since passed away and I want to try to make it the way she did. This sounds like it would be similar but she had more of a brown sauce. Instead of the chicken base could I use beef?

In reply to Amy. i’m not sure if the cornstarch part freezes well. you can make the rest of the sauce, freeze it, then when it’s time to cook, defrost and add in the cornstarch if that helps!

I have made this recipe multiple times and love it (though I always double the sauce)! Do you know if it freezes well?

Chop Suey isn’t an American dish. It has been served in Indonesia as well on a large scale since late 19th century.

I probably LOVE Asian food more than most of my Asian Friends.
That’s a fact.

Good tip about keeping the sauce separate until the end, and being careful not to overcook the vegetables. I included an entire head of bok choy and 2 large carrots cut diagonally, used mirin instead of shaoxing wine. It was a hit at our house.

Hi, I followed the recipe but the sauce is very thick! I had to add another cup of broth to unthicken it. Could the tbsp of cornstarch be tsp?
