Welcome the viewers and introduce the recipe for Chop Suey.

Prepare 1.5 pounds of chicken with skin and bone for more flavor.

To season the water, add 1/2 onion, 6 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of mixed spices (pepper and cumin), 1.5 pinches of curry, 1.5 pinches of saffron, and 1.5 teaspoons of chicken bouillon.

Boil the chicken with the seasonings until tender.

Once cooked, let the chicken cool to shred it.

Strain the leftover water and reserve about 1 cup, adding more clean water to enhance the flavor.

Cover and boil the water again.

Add the noodles (spaghetti) to the boiling water, using one packet from the box, and cook for about 10-11 minutes for a softer texture, despite the box stating 5 minutes is sufficient.

Once cooked, drain the noodles.

In a pan, melt more than 1/2 stick of margarine, then add zucchini and sauté for a few minutes.

Next, add the carrot and continue to sauté, noting that this method preserves the flavor better than boiling.

Add the mortadella and sauté for a few more minutes.

Incorporate the shredded chicken and adjust the amounts of vegetables and chicken to your taste.

Add a bit of the reserved water to help cook the vegetables.

Mix in the noodles thoroughly, noting that it may take some patience to combine them with the vegetables.

Season with approximately 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of curry, and a bit of saffron for color.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of chicken bouillon and a little bit of seasoning from the noodle package.

Conclude the recipe, mentioning its suitability for various occasions like birthdays, weddings, and more.
