Chicken Chop Suey

Create this popular Chinese Take Away dish of Chicken Chop Suey in your own home.

This week I have been using up ingredients we have, no big grocery shop this week, as next week, we have our first real proper family holiday and we are taking the kids to Disney. Eeeek!!

But shhhhhhh!! We haven't told the kids, we plan to surprise them on the morning we leave. I can't wait to see their faces of pure excitement.

For any of you reading this that also now live overseas, you will probably know how rare a real proper family holiday can be, as usually, any holiday we have is going back to the UK or similar to see family etc, it's still a holiday of course, but not in the sense of going away somewhere different.

So this year we said, we were taking the kids to Disney, as they have been wanting to go so much, how could we not?

However, we really didn't realize how stressful booking such a holiday would be. It's not just a case of booking park tickets and accommodation and you are done, you also have to really plan your days out in advance, book fast passes and special events, even certain restaurants if you want to eat there.

I think we have the most of it sorted now, so this week it is packing the cases etc, I will be doing that while the kids are at school, so I can hide them away from prying eyes.

I've also been doing an inventory of what I have in the fridge to get it all use up before we go. Lots of soup making and freezing containers, which will all be handy for when we get back. I am sure it will take me a good few days to get back into a routine once home, so those are going to be a lifesaver.

One item that needed using this week, was a bag of bean sprouts. I was originally going to make my Beef Chow Mein but then realized I also had some chicken thighs to use and well instead of making Chow Mein, I figured I'd give you a brand new recipe - Chicken Chop Suey.

Chop Suey was always one of my favourite dishes to order from the Chinese. I love bean sprouts and did you know they are also a vegetables? You don't need a better excuse to make this dish.

You could totally eat this Chicken Chop Suey as it is for a meal or add it to a whole heap of other dishes for a perfect Chinese Fakeaway.
