Subgum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Subgum or sub gum (traditional: 什錦; simplified: 什锦; Cantonese: sap6 gam2; pinyin: shí jǐn; literally "numerous and varied") is a type of American Chinese dish in which one or more meats and/or seafood are mixed with vegetables, and sometimes also noodles, rice, or soup. It originates from Cantonese cuisine and is a commonly encountered dish on the menus of Chinese restaurants in North America.
The earliest known indirect mention of sub-gum is in 1906;[1] in 1909, there is a more explicit reference to sub gum deang at a Chicago restaurant[2] and in 1913, to sub gum gai suey at a New York restaurant.[3]
