Preparation

Put the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water into a bowl, then add the chicken cut into thin strips. Mix everything well and let the marinade soak in for about 2 hours.

Slice the onion, leek, carrots, and mushrooms into thin rings. Peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely.

Heat the sesame oil in a wok and stir-fry the marinated chicken thoroughly until fully cooked.

Add the vegetables, mix everything well, and continue stir-frying briefly. Then reduce the heat and add the sugar snap peas and mung bean sprouts. Cook everything for a few more minutes over medium heat.

For the sauce, mix the water, sugar, sambal oelek, and soy sauce together.

Pour the sauce into the wok and add a pinch of cornstarch (or another type of starch). Bring the chop suey briefly to a boil and season with salt and a bit of sugar.

As a side dish, basmati rice or jasmine rice works very well — glass noodles are also a great option.
