1950's. No siblings, just a lonely-only. Dad died when I was 9. Mom kept me well fed and I "SO" remember this recipe as one of my favorite meals (I've made this as written so I know it's true). The only added ingredient was water chestnuts for a fun crunch and always over rice. Never cared much for the chow mein noodles. Thanks for the memory. At 70, I still appreciate a tasty, easy to make meal.

I have always made my chop suey, as my Mother did, out of the cans! Never again. I loved this recipe and will use it over and over. I added garlic, sliced broccoli stems, water chestnuts and chopped peppers. The sugar and salt were omitted and the soy sauce was increased to 2T. I like soy! I'm sure this is much healthier than using the canned veggies so thanks for a great and healthy version.

This was my grandma's recipe! I have been trying to find it for so many years and this is it, I just can't thank you enough, you took me back to her kitchen with this delicious meal. The ONLY change was I added drained water chestnuts and drained sliced mushrooms, just like grandma used to. Served over rice and topped with chow mein noodles. Thank you so very much for this recipe.

I am living in Stafford England have been for just over 5 years. I enjoy being a housewife and I am now able to concentrate on my love of cooking for my family. I enjoy trying new recipes and making up a few as I cook. I am a part time pharmacy assistant for our local chemist. I met my husband on the internet, and find that I couldn't have found a more perfect partner than him. He is an exceptional man as he loves to cook with me. He is a very patient and loving man and understands me far better than anyone I know. He has two sons, Ben and Barrie, that are wonderful young men, who have accepted me in their lives as a stepmom. And now they have made me a grandma. I have a lovely grandson Jacob who is just 1 year. Now we were informed we are to become grandparents again in May and June. I love the idea of being a grandma. I love to collect cookbooks, Boyds Bears, take family pictures, Reading is a very big passion. I enjoy reading Nora Roberts and J D Robb, who are one in the same. I spend a lot of time playing World of WarCraft. I do miss my family that I left in the states, such as a sister and 3 brothers. Both of my parents are dead. My pet peeves.......I don't like it when friends don't keep in touch, I dislike phoniness, insincerity, and backstabbing. It is sad that there are so many people out there that are like that and don't realize it or just don't care..
