Where are the mushrooms? I have been making this recipe for years and over the years I tried different ingredients to give it more taste and finally decided on fresh mushrooms cut into big pieces, umm, so good that if I didn't have them in the house, I would either go out to get some or go without the chopsuey. So delicious, but use fresh ones, there is a big difference in the taste I found. Just my opinion for what it is worth.
