Instructions

1 Remove the top and bottom of the chayote first. It will give you a bit of a flat
surface. Then, cut the chayote into quarters so that you can remove the core
easily.
2 After removing the core, slice each quarter diagonally. It will give you small
and thin slices of chayote. Keep it for later.
3 Pour 1 tbsp of peanut oil into a pan and heat it. Add the pork belly strips to
the hot pan and stir-fry them. Fry the pork belly until the fat is rendered. You
need to use less oil at first as the pork fat will be rendered.
4 Put the ginger, garlic, scallions, and chili into the pan and fry them with the
pork belly. Keep the heat on medium so that you don’t burn the spices. After
lightly frying the spices, put some light and dark soy sauce together.
5 They will give the pork belly some color. Continue frying until the pork belly
is golden brown.
6 Add the sliced chayote to the pan and stir-fry it. It won’t take too long for
the chayote to be cooked.
7 At this stage, you need to add the sugar, chicken essence, and oyster sauce to
the pan. Add the salt at last after checking the sauce. Otherwise, the dish
might be too salty. Also, drizzle a bit more dark soy sauce.
8 After frying everything for one more minute, the Chinese chayote is ready to
serve. Sprinkle some scallions on top of the chayote dish.
