Chop suey (Chinese: 杂碎; pinyin: zá suì; literally "assorted pieces") is a Chinese dish consisting of meats (often chicken, fish, beef, shrimp (UK: prawns) or pork) and eggs, 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 stir-fried noodles.

Chop suey has become a prominent part of American Chinese cuisine, Filipino cuisine,
Canadian Chinese cuisine, Indian Chinese cuisine, and Polynesian cuisine.
