Now, getting back to this recipe, in most Indian restaurants, there are 2 types of chopsueys available: American and Chinese. If you have been following my blog, you would have noticed that I have been following this tradition of making something special for other members of my family on their birthdays my younger son ( Mini Heart-Shaped Chocolate Bites), my younger daughter-in-law ( Chocolate Malted Cake with Chocolate ganache) and for my elder daughter-in-law: Mock Oreo Tiramisu Parfait! Anytime I ask him what I should make for him, it is generally for sure chopsuey, his first choice! Today is my older son’s birthday and I wanted to make something special for him his all-time favorite dish: Spicy American Vegetable Chopsuey.

We Indians love our Indo-Chinese food (an adaption of Chinese cuisine to suit our spicy Indian palates) and you ask any Indian and they will vouch for their love for Indo-chinese dishes like Manchow soup, Hakka vegetable noodles, hot and sour soup etc.

This particular chopsuey is an Indo-Chinese creation more popular in India. Normally, American Chopsuey is a typical American pasta dish with macaroni and beef in a thick tomato sauce. Schezwan Vegetable Chopsuey is a super tasty Indo-chinese fusion dish crisp fried noodles are served over a bed of spicy schezwan flavored thick vegetable gravy with Chinese flavors!
