Chop suey is normally served as a Chinese dish but it is actually mainly served in the United States, even though mostly prepared by Chinese immigrants. The word chop suey in Chinese means something like "left-overs"or "mixed pieces" and thus is the Chinese equivalent of the (also not really Indonesian) nasi goreng.
