Chopsuey.

Well, well...


I know how to cook now. Been cooking for 3 months straight already.

Was forced to become a real wife and mommy when my househelp decided to call it quits with us so that she can study. And because I have a two-year old, it is not a good idea to feast on fastfood or even restaurant food... the MSG might just be too much to handle.

Here is my recipe for chopsuey. Note that I do not really measure -- not because I am good but because I don't really know. I just go with my gut... or should I say, tongue!

Young corn
