Chop suey (Simplified Chinese: 杂碎; Traditional Chinese: 雜碎; pinyin: zásùi; Jyutping: zaap6 seoi3; Cantonese Yale: jaāhp seui) literally means mixed pieces. It roughly means chopped up odds and ends, alluding to "leftovers". It is not an authentic Chinese dish, but rather an invention catering to Western tastes - American Chinese cuisine and Canadian Chinese cuisine.
