- 1 Tablespoon Olive or Vegetable oil (more if using non-stick pan)
- 4-6 Garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1 lb ground Pork or Beef or a combo (whichever you fancy)
- 3 Roma or Plum tomatoes, diced and seeded (if desired)
- 3 Tablespoons Soy sauce (adjust it to the level of saltiness you can stand…)
- ½ cup Water
- Salt and pepper
- Patis / Fish sauce (optional)
- 3-4 Chayote, washed, peeled and sliced into chunks
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat oil in medium in a deep pan. Sauté the garlic and onions for about a 1-2 minutes.
- Add the ground meat and cook until it changes its color. Crumble the meat with a fork to prevent clumping as you brown it. Season with a little salt and pepper. Instead of salt you may season it with fish sauce, to taste, if you are feeling a little adventurous!
- Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce and water.
- Bring to a boil. Cover then simmer on low heat for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the flavor of the liquid.
- To the cooked Ground Pork/Beef Sauté, add the Chayote chunks (or other vegetables). Cook by simmering until the squash is tender about 10-15 minutes, depending on how big the chunks are. They should be tender but not mushy.
- Correct the seasoning, if necessary with a little fish sauce (if using) or extra salt and soy sauce. Enjoy with a plate of rice! This is really delicious!
