here is one of my favorite Filipino dish:

Chayote Guisado or Sayote Guisado (Sautéed Chayote) is one of the Filipino recipes that we love so much as a family. It's also known as the "chayote squash."

Ingredients :

* 2 to 4 pieces chayote squash, pared, seeded and sliced
* 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
* 1/2 lb. pork, sliced... can use chicken breast too.
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 tomatoes, chopped
* 1 tbsp. patis (fish sauce)
* salt and pepper, to taste
* water

Cooking Procedures :

1. In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook pork until it turns slightly brown.
2. Add garlic, onions and tomatoes. Sauté for a few minutes until tomatoes wilted.
3. Add chayote slices. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for few minutes until well blended.
4. Pour in water and bring to boil. Cover, lower the heat and let it simmer until chayote is tender.
5. Correct the seasonings according to your style and liking.
6. Remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve over steamed rice.
