Topic: Looking for a Fun Holiday to Celebrate? Gung Ho Fat Choy - Happy Chinese New Years Feb 5 to 19th

Anonymous A started this discussion 7 years ago #83,975

Gong hei fat choy may be more correct, yet I learned to remember saying Happy New Year as Gung Ho Fat Choy.

Dragon parades and Firecrackers. Chinese food like genuine Chop Suey "consisting of meat and eggs, cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a corn starch-thickened sauce."

Photo has chilis which make it even more American Chinese and frankly this is not how they serve this cuisine in Hong Kong. Chinese food as found in Szechuan, is American based dishes which mostly use American Chilies.

So please look for New Years Celebrations where you live. This is the Year of the Pig. Do NOT accept any other Rodent substitutes.

> You know nothing of real Chinese culture. Chop suey was invented in the US, and Sichuan cuisine is not “American based”. You are only embarrassing yourself.

Sichuan cuisine, Szechwan cuisine, or Szechuan cuisine (/ˈsɛʃwɒn/ or /ˈsɛtʃwɒn/) is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from Sichuan Province. It has bold flavours, particularly the pungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and Chili peppers

Chili peppers originated in Mexico on the continent of America. Szechuan cuisine is indeed American based.

Chow mein and chop suey are both Chinese stir-fry dishes often found on restaurant and take-out menus. The two may seem similar, but their ingredients, preparation, and origins are different. Chow mein is one of the signature dishes of Chinese cuisine while chop suey is an American creation using Chinese cooking techniques.

History of Chow Mein
Chow mein is considered to be a more authentic Chinese dish than chop suey. While the origin of chop suey is not necessarily established, the historical background of chow mein is far less mysterious. Chow mein, (in Mandarin "ch'ao mien") meaning “stir-fried noodles,” originated in Northern China. While the chow mein served in take-outs and many American Chinese restaurants has been altered to appeal to Western tastes, it is based on an authentic Chinese dish of stir-fried vegetables with boiled noodles.

History of Chop Suey
When it comes to chop suey, one consistent belief is that it was invented in America by Chinese Americans. A story that has stood the test of time is that this dish was created by a legendary Chinese chef at a California mining camp. On a day he was short on ingredients and staff, he threw together a dish for his customers using whatever he had in the kitchen. He named it "tsa sui" in Mandarin, which means "miscellaneous broken pieces."

Noodles mixed with meat and stir fried.

The king of fried noodles in soy sauce (Hong Kong style chow mein) is a well-known Hong Kong-style snack. In Guangzhou, it is a favorite dish to eat alongside a cup of morning tea and is popular for breakfast.

As its name implies, the main flavoring of stir-fried noodles is soy sauce. Although soy sauce is not unique to Cantonese cuisine, the chefs in Guangdong and Hong Kong did indeed make the soy sauce taste superb. They not only cooked all kinds of delicious Chinese dishes, but they even introduced it into Western cuisine. It is no wonder to discover that Western food has also now taken on the soy sauce flavorings once popular and traditionally rooted in Hong Kong.
