Yes, you can use pork loin, pork shoulder, or even pork tenderloin. Just make sure to slice it thinly against the grain so it stays tender.

2. Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Chop suey is best served fresh, but you can prep the ingredients ahead. Slice the pork and vegetables and store them separately in the fridge. Then stir fry everything when you are ready to eat.
