Ingredients

  • Cooking oil
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 500 g sayote (chayote) sliced
  • ½ cup (125 ml) water
  • ½ tbsp seasoning granules see notes
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Spring onions sliced

Instructions

  1. In a pan over medium-high heat, add cooking oil.
  2. Sauté garlic until fragrant. Add onion and tomatoes; cook until soft.
  3. Add the sliced sayote, water and seasoning granules. Mix and cover the pan. Depending on the cut of your sayote, cook it for 7-10 minutes or until tender. Check occasionally; add water if needed. If you want a “dry” dish, no need to add water.
  4. Break 2 eggs on top of the veggies; stir until eggs are cooked as per your preference.
  5. Season with salt & pepper, and garnish with spring onions.

Recipe Notes

  • You can slice the sayote as per your liking. If you want it to be cooked quickly, you can cut it into smaller pieces.
  • We use seasoning granules in the Philippines in some of our dishes to enhance its taste. It can be Ginisa Mix, Magic Sarap, Namnam or whatever seasoning granules you prefer. You can also use chicken cube (for this recipe, start with ½ cube) or chicken stock powder.
  • I usually serve this with rice and fried fish, but it can also be eaten with cauli rice or quinoa. You can even skip the fried fish.
  • You can add meat if you want and it can be added before adding sayote to the pan.
