Chop suey is fast and easy to make. My mother always made this recipe; we love it as-is, but you can substitute a can of Chinese mixed vegetables for the bean sprouts if you want more color and texture. Serve over hot rice and top with chow mein noodles and soy sauce.

Easter Egg Rolls
These Easter egg rolls are not made from Easter eggs, but I cannot think of a better use for leftover Easter ham. Filled with tender veggies and rice vermicelli, with the sweet-savory flavor of ham, and a perfectly-textured thin, crisp exterior, these egg rolls are absolutely delicious. I've included a recipe for a non-traditional mustard sauce, but you can also use any more traditional sauces like hoisin or sweet and sour sauce.
