My family eat chayote and its shoots from time to time. Chayote shoots also known as 龍鬚菜 in Chinese and it means dragon's beard or dragon's whiskers.
It's very delicious even with just simple stir fried. I usually stir fried it with chili paste, sambal belacan and at times just a simple stir fried with dried shrimps or anchovies. It's very yummy and my children who don't really fancy vegetables, love it. Besides, it's very healthy and delicious too.
Ingredients :
- 1 bunch of chayote shoots (cut according to your desired length)
- 1 tbsp of dried shrimps (washed)
- 1 red chili (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
- oil
-salt (to taste)
Method :
1) Heat oil in a wok and saute garlic and dried shrimps until aromatic.
2) Add chayote shoots and stir fry until cook. Add water if too dry.
3) Dish up and serve.
This simple stir fried is so healthy and nutritious
Yummy and healthy for the whole family :)

Wish you speedy recovery, take care. Have a nice day.
Thanks Amelia :)
DeleteLove this healthy and delicious dish. I can have this everyday!
ReplyDeleteYes, Zoe. I can have it everyday too :)
DeleteMy fav! But only can found in my hometown :(
ReplyDeleteToo bad. Sometimes can get it from the supermarket too.
DeleteI am sure about the name of the leaves but it looks quite familiar. I know how awesome the taste must have been because I use dried prawns for stir fries too.
ReplyDeleteYes, Nava. dried prawns is great with any types of stir fried veggie.
DeleteIvy, this is nice and yummy.

Deleteo ivy dear...akak selalu nampak sayur ni kat pasar tapi tak pernah beli..macam pucuk labu tapi bukan pucuk labu...tu yang garu kepala tanya diri sendiri, ni sayur boleh masak apa?...pekerja kat situ cakap ni orang Vietnam punya fav, so akak cuma tengok jer la...pernah terfikir nak beli and try masak lemak macam pucuk labu tu tapi tak berani pulak hahahah...takut mabuk tergolek macam makan daun kaduk dulu ker LOL..
ReplyDeleteokay, lepas ni nak try masak la..thanks cayang kasi tunjuk ini masakan, macam tau2 jer akak punya instinct heheeh
pssst akak dah try your labu tumis tu, sedap babe, nanti free akak tunjuk dlm blog ya...
hahaha.... Kak Q, same mind think alike! Sayur ni juga boleh masak ngan lemak atau sambal belacan. Sedaplah... Tak mabuk..... Ini bukan daun kaduk... Kalau sayur ni Kak Q mabuk jugak, hai.... tak payah lah makan sayur lagi. Makan daging aje!!!!! Sayur ni lebih sedap dpd pucuk keledek dan kangkung. Murah jugak!

DeleteHi Ivy! I have seen this vegetable but I was not sure how to cook it. The most prominent feature is the curly leaves and at first it looked a bit weird. I also seen this vege at chap fan stall but I dare not try. Now that I see you have a good recipe here, I will buy this chayote shoots and try it at home :)
ReplyDeleteYes Phong Hong. I'm sure you will like it as it's indeed very yummy :)

ReplyDeleteYes, Lena. I cook this almost every week! Have a nice day, Lena :)
DeleteGosh! None of the names I'm familiar with. I enjoy a good plate of vegetables too! Those thin shreds look like spinach noodles...... :)
ReplyDeleteSpinach noodles, Shirley! You are great! hahaha
DeleteHi Ivy,
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious and healthy!
Thanks Joyce and have a great weekend with your loved ones :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ivy, wow! I love this vegetable dish! And your photograph really enhances it too.
ReplyDeleteYou not only a good cook, the kind of cook that can make a man under different circumstances bring home introduce to his mummy...but a good photographer too. Very rarely this 2 combination. You are exceptional.
And that red Chile certainly adds to the charm of your already appetizing dish. Outstanding!
Ivy, there is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful mother or wife in the act of cooking dinner for her loved ones.
You have a beautiful Sunday, and keep a song in your heart.
Best regards,
Lee.
