Chinese-Fijian Fusion · Takeaway Classic
Fiji Chop Suey
🥡
Photo coming soon
This stir-fried noodle dish traces back to Fiji's Chinese settler community, yet it now shows up on nearly every Suva takeaway menu alongside curry and roti.
Egg noodles or rice are stir-fried with whatever vegetables and meat are on hand, seasoned with soy sauce, and served fast and cheap from takeaway counters across Suva and Nadi.
Why it's made this way: Chinese market gardeners and shopkeepers settled in Fiji from the early 20th century onward, and their stir-fry cooking became so embedded in everyday Fijian eating that chop suey now counts as a local takeaway staple rather than a foreign dish.
