Chop Suey

I made this Monday for dinner. I remember my mom making this for my sister Reta on her birthday. It was a tradition in our family that for our birthday we could have Mom cook our favorite for our birthday dinner. I always remembered that Reta picked Pork Chop Suey for her birthday dinner. I must remember this because when I was younger Chinese food was not my favorite cuisine. I have no idea what my favorite pick was but I do remember liking spagetti and awful lot back then. Today chinese is one of my favorite cuisines along with Mexican. The chop suey came out terrific and we all enjoyed it. I served it over rice but you could serve this with chinese noodles to.
