Ginisang Sayote, Hipon at Giniling

Ginisang Sayote, Hipon at Giniling is a Filipino vegetable dish made with sauteed chayote in onions and garlic with prawns and minced meat.

Sayote, Choko, Chayote, Vegetable Pear or Mango Squash it’s one of those vegetables that we seldom have because its popular here in New Zealand and it is seasonal, luckily, we have friends that have planted this in their gardens and share it when it bears fruit. This is one of those days when we received some of that harvest and we are really excited, like I said we barely see this in markets.

I like this vegetable maybe because I grew up with it as we have this planted on our backyard when we lived in Baguio City where this is abundant. There are many ways to prepare this and the most popular one is this dish which can have many variations where it sautéed with different ingredients like pork, beef, chicken and seafood. Sayote can also be used in soups like tinola or in vegetable stir fries like chopseuy, it can be even used as a dessert ingredient, like mock apple pies.

    I need to give this a try next time I get my hands on some chayote squash. Looks so delicious.

  2. I’ve had this in Mexican dishes before. Not something I see that often, though. Great way to use it — thanks.

    I’ve never ever paired shrimp and beef together – but it sounds like… Something I need to do ASAP!
