What is this food?
Chopsuey (with yacon), a vegetable-based Filipino-Chinese stir-fry usually made with mixed veggies and sometimes a bit of meat or seafood, cooked with a light sauce.
Why it matters to health
This dish is helpful for everyday eating because it brings fiber (2.9 g per 100 g) to support fullness and regular digestion, and it has some carbohydrates (8.5 g) for energy. It also has low calories (70 kcal per 100 g), making it a good option for meals and snacks.
On the other hand, it can still contribute to sodium (354 mg) and saturated fat (1.3 g) depending on how it’s cooked (e.g., added seasonings, sauces, and the type/amount of meat). Keeping portions and frequency in mind helps you enjoy it while staying balanced.

Healthier tips
- Use it as your vegetable side for lunch or dinner: aim for about 1–2 cups per serving (depending on your hunger and the rest of your plate).
- Pair with a lean protein (fish, chicken breast, tofu) and rice in smaller portions if you’re also having rice.
- Go easy on salty sauces: taste first, then add seasoning gradually.
- If you want it for a snack, keep it lighter—choose a smaller bowl and add fruit or yogurt on the side if needed for balance.
- Since it’s a mix of veggies, you can also add more non-starchy vegetables (like cabbage, pechay, carrots) to increase fiber without adding too many calories.
