Filipino Chayote or Upo Recipe


Filipino chayote is usually cooked with shrimp or pork combined with the vegetable in every Filipino dish there is always garlic and onion in our dishes. This is the main ingredient used often when we sauté vegetables together.

Our main seasoning is Patis which is fish sauce to add more flavoring in our home cooked meals.

Right now, other seasoning for example Knorr broth cubes and magic sarap is not allowed to use when we cook in our home due to people who have other illness cannot be added in their meals. This takes the replacement what is not allowed to be used.

My mom adds MSG in her cooking she said, it is only made of plant. In our home we are not allowed to use that seasoning as well.

In this recipe you can use upo which is another vegetable we also make in this recipe.
