A crispy noodle and yummy sauce combination!
The usual American Chop suey is an American pasta dish and consists of elbow macaroni and bits of cooked ground beef with sautéed onions and green peppers in a thick tomato-based sauce. The recipe described in the video uses noodles as a base and is far more crunchier and tastier than the normal dish. Also, we have replaced the beef with vegetables to make a very tasty and innovative vegetarian chopsuey.
