This is a quick and easy Chinese inspired dish to make for the entire family. Full of fiber and packed with protein, this dish is a healthy alternative for the very high in fat and salt restaurant Chinese food.  Most kids enjoy this recipe, as well as adults. It is a complete meal when served with brown rice. To get your children to eat brown rice, serve the chop suey over it ( they will think the brown comes from the soy sauce!)
