Chopsuey is a Filipino-Chinese dish of mixed vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, sweet peas, carrots, celery, red or bell pepper and cabbage.

You can add sliced pork meat, or chicken, or chicken gizzard & liver, or shrimp and fish balls depending of your own preference. As for me, I usually include the combination of pork meat, fishballs and boiled quail eggs; or chicken gizzard, liver and fishballs. Here’s my version of chopsuey Ilocano. Have fun cooking! 🙂
