Notes & Tips:
This was really easy and very good. I don't think it makes 4 servings, but maybe I made the patties too big. Also, the pea sauce didn't thicken with the amount of cornstarch recommended. I had to add about a tablespoon of flour. Also, I served the sauce on the side, b/c it looked kinda funky...but it tasted great so then I poured it on the patties. Also, I had a really hard time finding chop suey veggies, but La Choy makes them and they are in the "ethnic" section of our grocery store.
