Directions
Chop Suey Retro 60’s Style,This is Mama’s Mama’s recipe from ‘back in the day’! I remember eating this as a kid and loving it. When friends came over on Chop Suey night they looked at it and said- No way, I don’t eat that! but then tried it and LOVED it too! This was a great way to get us to eat some veggies we otherwise would have turned our nose up at. Hope you enjoy this retro recipe! My mother got it from an old Woolworth’s Cookbook. There are lots of items readily available in our times so substitutions and additions are endless! I would add some canned baby corn, and use straw mushrooms and maybe even some fresh bok choy in place of the bean sprouts- i never did care for those anyway! I am also gonna try this now with turkey or chicken bc I don’t eat pork or beef anymore. Please zmail me if you remember eating this recipe back then and we can compare hula hoop stats!,This is great to find retro recipes in one place. My Mom kicked us kids out of the kitchen, we were a wild bunch. Thanks !!!,how long does this cook when not using a pressure cooker???
