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.

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