How to cook Stir-Fried Chayote & Tofu (Ginisang Sayote at Tokwa)

Hello again! Tofu overload this week as I bring you yet another vegetarian recipe featuring, you guessed it right, tofu. This is what I had for lunch earlier today. Here it is.

Stir-Fried Chayote & Tofu (Ginisang Sayote at Tokwa)

Stir-Fried Chayote & Tofu (Ginisang Sayote at Tokwa)

Ingredients:

1 cup water

cooking oil

tofu (tokwa), mashed

3 pcs medium-size chayote (sayote), sliced

1 pc medium-size onion (sibuyas), peeled and minced

6 cloves of garlic (bawang), crushed and minced

4 pcs medium-size tomato (kamatis), sliced

salt (asin) to taste

ground black pepper (paminta) to taste

soy sauce (toyo) to taste

2 pcs chili pepper (siling labuyo), optional

sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) to taste, optional

Instructions:

Fry garlic in a saucepan until golden brown then add onion and tomatoes. Add mashed tofu then stir. Add chayote and chili pepper. Add water then stir. Add salt, ground black pepper, soy sauce and sweet soy sauce to taste. Remove from heat then serve.

I only spent PHP 70 to buy the ingredients needed to make this dish. Serves eight persons.

For those who are wondering where to get sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), you can go to Matahari Indonesian Deli. They have branches in TriNoma, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, Robinsons Place Manila & V-Mall.

That’s all for now. Till next time!
