Chopsuey

The Chopsuey.  Healthy yet delicious.  The chopsuey, a mix of various vegetables, usually including cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers, is always a delight to see on our dinner tables.  The combination of lively colors of the vegetables makes is a delectable sight and stirs the appetite of anyone who sees it.  We usually cook chopsuey as an accompaniment to a meat dish, usually fried chicken or pork chops.  I like to cook the vegetables in chopsuey al dente to retain the nutrients and to give the chopsuey a crunchy texture.
