Answers:
The story I heard is that it was invented by the Chinese cooks working on the railroads in America!. They never knew quite what ingredients they were going to get, and the Irish "navvies" laying the tracks didn't know any different and didn't care as long as it was hot, filled them up and tasted reasonably better than potato!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chop suey (Chinese 'mixed pieces') is an American-Chinese dish consisting of meats (often chicken, beef, shrimp or pork), cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce!. It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mein with the addition of deep-fried noodles!.

Chop suey is part of American Chinese cuisine, Canadian Chinese cuisine, and Indian Chinese cuisine!. Filipinos also have their own version of chop suey!.

While chop suey as we know it is an American-Chinese creation, and not an authentic Chinese dish, it may have been inspired by the the stir-fried vegetables Chinese farmers used to eat after a long day working in the fields!. Pork chop suey is primarily a vegetable dish; the meat is added for extra flavor!.
