Chopsuey is one of my top vegetable dishes.
It is a dish made up of meat (chicken or pork) and seafood (like shrimp) cooked with chicken liver and different kinds of veggies.

1/4 kilo shrimps, shelled, deveined and halved

18 pcs.quail eggs, cooked

2 tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in 1/4 cup water

2 cups chicken stock (broth)

3 tbsp sesame oil

Serve Chopsuey freshly-cooked so veggies are really crunchy! ☺

(Note: Chopsuey has no exact measurements of ingredients ~ meaning, you could always adjust the ingredients.
Personally, I like to cook my Chopsuey with some "sabaw" [soup] ~ but others prefer it without. The key to a delicious Chopsuey is not to overcook the veggies.) ☺
