Notes

  1. Spice level - For anyone who's not a fan of spicy dishes, there's no need to worry! This Beef Chop Suey does not have a hint of heat. However, I do encourage experimenting with the recipe, adding the likes of chilis if you prefer some spiciness to your food.
  2. Beef stock - Don't have any beef stock at home? We've got you covered! Water would be fine as well for this recipe. 
  3. Beef top sirloin - I understand that some of my readers are vegans and vegetarians. That being said, feel free to substitute the beef with ingredients like tofu and tempeh for a similar taste!
  4. Snap peas - Snap peas are great for a unique crunch, but you could also make your chop suey with green beans, snow peas, or even asparagus.
  5. Cornstarch - If you've run out of cornstarch, you could also try potato starch. Another alternative that may work for you is corn flour!
