NATIONAL CHOP SUEY DAY
Get your chopsticks ready! National Chop Suey Day is recognized each year on August 29.
Chop suey, which means “assorted pieces,” is a dish in American Chinese cuisine consisting of meat (chicken, fish, beef, prawns or pork) and eggs that are cooked quickly with vegetables (usually bean sprouts, cabbage and celery) and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. Rice typically accompanies this delicious dish.
