Chop suey (/ˈtʃɒpˈsuːi/) is a dish in American Chinese cuisine and other forms of overseas Chinese Cantonese cuisine, consisting of meat (often chicken, fish, beef, shrimp, or pork) and eggs, cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce.

Typically, chicken, is used in authentic  Samoan Sapasui, but you can use beef or pork  or none of these meats in this recipe, it’s completely up to you. The dish is richly coloured and flavoured with soy sauce.
