Instructions

Peel and slice the chayote. (SEE NOTES FOR STEPS)
Heat oil over medium heat in a pan or wok. Saute onion and garlic until soft and aromatic.
Add tomatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender.
Add ground pork. Use the spoon to break the lumps apart. Cook until no longer pink. Then add fish sauce and cook for about another minute.
Pour water. Cover and simmer for about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt if needed.
Add sayote slices to the pan and mix to combine. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until chayote is half-cook (tender but still a bit crisp).
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve with plain rice on its own or together with your favorite fried fish or meat.

Notes

TIPS FOR PREPARING CHAYOTE:
Before peeling the sayote, cut off about half an inch from the top.
Allow the sap/resin to come out of the sayote.
To hasten it, rub the cut parts together in a circular motion until a white, foam-like substance appears and build-up. Rinse well.
Rub a small amount of oil in your hands just in case there is some sap left.
Peel off the skin using a vegetable peeler or a small knife.
Cut the chayote in quarters, lengthwise. Cut off the bottom outer edges and the seed part then cut each quarter diagonally into thin slices.
