I’ve seen on Sonia’s blog, she cooked this. And it has been long since I’ve eaten this.
I tin easily larn Chayote shoots at Ipoh’s Jusco, dissimilar inwards Klang Valley where it is difficult to find.
Oh, if you lot intend these are the same every bit pumpkin shoots, no they are not. In Chinese, these are called 龙须菜 ("loong sou choy" inwards Cantonese)
Now, permit me nation you lot the difference,
Pumpkin shoots are hairy in addition to big, whereas chayote leaves are smaller in addition to smooth.
Chayote shoots gustation better, if you lot inquire me, I’ve eaten pumpkin shoots countless times cos our Malay friends similar to lay inwards pumpkin leaves when they attain their pumpkin inwards kokosnoot milk (labu masak lemak).
So, how does i fix these?
Soak chayote shoots inwards build clean H2O for 10 minutes in addition to milk tremble off the water. Just pluck two inch segments starting from the transcend (pluck the tendrils to suitable lengths) until it feels tough. You volition know if it’s tough if it needs extra endeavor to pluck. Discard the petroleum bits. Do non launder the plucked vegetables later on this. No thing what vegetables they are, launder earlier you lot cutting or pluck in addition to non after, then that you lot volition non launder away the nutrients.
So, here’s my rendition of stir fried chayote leaves , done inwards Malay mode of stir fry.
