Sayote


The sayote fruits are abundant this time of year in my garden, I don’t know if it is the season for sayote.
I love sayote. I used it in all kinds of recipes like Chicken Tinola, Chop Suey or stir fry mix vegetables, pancit and fresh vegetable lumpia or fried vegetable lumpia.
One thing about sayote, when you peel it, it leaves a sticky residue in your hands. It will go away eventually.
