Chicken Chop Suey

This dish was superbly simple to make, and it really ties in well with the hectic lifestyle of David and Hulan right now in Flower Net. It's a traditional dish, something that would probably be craved for when Hulan has been in the United States after a little while. I know whenever I travel for a bit I start to miss my own cooking - albeit it's randomness. 

It's kind of funny, I've actually been missing some of the "normal" food I make, and I think there will be some California food dishes interspersed with the Chinese soon so that I can have a change of taste. For me the flavors after awhile become too much, and I've never been much of a fan for Chinese food to begin with, however I will say that most are more healthy than other dishes I've made… Moving forward though, I think this would be a perfect sized meal for 2-4 people!

I loved this, it was yummy, and everything worked well together. It must have been Ricky's favorite meal because he ate the whole plate, and then some.

I think the favorite thing about this meal though was it's simplicity. I can't wait to make tomorrow's recipe - which reminds me, sorry for not posting last evening. I was home renovating!

Till tomorrow then!
