Traditionally chop suey is served over noodles or rice, though it is more common for it to be served on top of rice than noodles. However, if you are making your own dish or experimenting you can also serve it over noodles. You can use thick chow mein noodles, or Asian-style noodles. Fried noodles or fried rice will often pair well with this dish too. However, if you are looking to be more traditional in your dish than it is best that you use rice as this is the more traditional serving method for this dish.
Traditionally the vegetables and other ingredients of chop suey are served over rice. This means that the dish is easy to make and very adaptable. It is a memorable dish like many Chinese food as it is well-balanced between grains and vegetables.
