- Chayote (合掌瓜, also known as 佛手瓜) is a very versatile vegetable. You can add it to soups or eat it raw, but my favorite method of preparation is stir frying. In this video, we'll see how Mama Lin grows chayote in her backyard. Then, she'll show us how to stir fry chayote.
You can find dried shrimp in Asian supermarkets.

Lol, I love how she says "People can tell what's going on, do I have to explain it?" Reminds me of my mom, she's been cooking forever so everything about cooking is obvious to her. Love it!
Oops, just saw this comment! LOL my mom says that VERY often!
This is by far the cutest chayote video I could’ve come across. I love that you documented it and will hold it close to your heart forever. Thank you Mama Lin!🩷
My father use to cook Chabot regularly, but I never knew how good is for the body. Thank your mother for sharing her garden secrets and this wonderful dish. Hope she cook some more for us in the future 🙏
It’s so refreshing to hear Toisanese. My father is the on person to still speak Toisan to me.
I remember back home we have a lots ofchayote6 in our back yard back home
We actually grown them at back yard I love them putting in our soup and also my stir fried veggi6
Interesting! I grew up in Jamaica and we normally add it to soups & stews. I’ll certainly try your mom’s recipe. Love her backyard garden. If China opens up, we will visit in March 2023. I’ll definitely look out for chayote!
I love your mom, she's adorable.🥰
Thanks for recipe. I will definitely try it.👍
My grandmother use to make this recipe too. It brings back memories. Good to hear you and your mom speak Toisan. It is a language that you no longer heard and spoken much in the USA.
Great intro to this squash and surprised how quickly it cooks! I knew it grew like a vine, but your Mom showing how that works was really cool.
Love the mini Chinese lesson at the end!! 🥰 Keep it coming pls!!
Thank you!
I love part too! Chinese is a beautiful language:))
Mama Lin is so cute!
I never cooked it with shrimp but the same way only I put green onion and Thyme 😋😋😋👌🙏🇺🇸🇲🇺
I grew up eating chayote in the tropics. Never had it cooked like this. YUM. Thank you😊
My friend Tracy, In Costa Rica is going to grow a lot of chayotes!. That mom's recipe looks so delicious!
Aww bless, i loved hearing Mama Lins prefered flavor combination 🥰 precious
Hop Jeung ga, nice, there's a Mexican here on UA-cam that teaches us Mandarin Chinese, but its interesting to know there are other languages in China, like Cantonese. Definitely making chayote here by this stir-fry method, which is similar to how my Mexica(pronounced Meshika)ancestors cooked, they either steamed, roasted or cooked with water. Thank you for sharing Lisa, 👍and greetings👋from central Mexico.🤠
Thank you for this! Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for showing us about this. I just loved it!!
Thanks for the receipt I will be preparing this tomorrow for lunch...
Awesome video, just inspired me to add this to my garden thank you
Chayote is a staple of the Caribbean and one of my favorite cooking fruits. So versatile and packed with nutrients. Lovely video!
Yes your right in jamaica we call it chocho and we put it in chicken soup 🍲 😋 big staple
I love your mom!
thanks for sharing !. ill try this chayote stir fried ..
Love Mama Lin!
Ciezko zrozumiec wasz jezyk ale dziekuje bardzo za to ze moglam zobaczyc !🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for sharing this video. My mom would add dried shrimp flakes to our scrambled eggs when I was young but as an adult I found them too fishy so thank you Mama Lin for the tip of sautéing with the onion and garlic to remove that taste!🙂 I dehydrate a lot of things and even tried one batch of shrimp but stopped there. Now I’ll continue to dry more. We just started our keto diet and I have chayotes for different mexican recipes but I’ll definitely add this to my chayote recipes.
The seeds are good to eat, even the mature hard seed is very pleasant, you need to roast hard seed in the oven, very nutty, very yummy...
I love chayote thank you for the recipe
I can't wait to try chayote. It is on my grocery list now. Thank you for a wonderful video.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the recipe and thanks to your adorable mum! I have always wanted to cook it but does not know how to do it! It’s actually pretty similar to cooking hairy gourd! :)
Excellent
A friend of mine sent me this recipe. Made it last night and it is delicious. #yummy
That's amazing! Thank you for trying it!
Thank you watching from Toronto
Hi Lisa, greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! I was google searching chayote recipes and chanced upon your channel. Subscribed and liked. Oh btw, we have the same surname - 林 :)
Oh, thanks!!
I love them🍃🙏❤️🍃
🍃❤️They are nice 🍃❤️
Thank u
Iv this kind of video hope there are more such this
Your mom's such a sweetheart
That was Great
I love it
Do you think you could make a video on how to grow it from start to finish beautiful video by the way.
I wish I can. It's a little hard because it spans a few months and I don't live near my mom. And her crop the last 2 years haven't been as good! I'll try to collect random footage over the next few seasons!
Wow yummy
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I tried it and it's delish.
Thank you 😊
Thank Lisa Lin for the recipe
Lisa speaks good Cantonese I hope that she can write the language too,good for her
Lisa, thank you for sharing the videos and recipes. I never knew the name of this veggie in English. Now I do! Will make this dish now after seeing how simple it is, that even a bad cook like me can do. LOL. Also, thanks for doing the Chinese in both Cantonese and Toi Shanese. My parents were Toi Shanese, even though I understand Cantonese more. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Marie! As I learned on Instagram, there's so many names for this vegetable, depending on the different culture!
@@hellolisalin Yes, it does make it confusing. There's another veggie that goes by different names too. In Chinese, it is called "ong choy" but I have seen it in English called Chinese spinach or Chinese watercress. Makes it difficult to find that veggie sometimes, which I really love!
@@mariekeung7187 I hear you!!
@@hellolisalin Lisa, do you have a recipe for Steak, Cantonese style? I used to order it from a local Chinese restaurant and my son loved it. Sadly, Covid forced them to close. It's basically the meat, onions and the sauce, which is obviously a lot of ketchup, as it is red. I would like to make it for my son, so I was wondering if you or your mom have a recipe for it that you can share with me or post on your site. Thank you!
These are amazing. I call them grumpy face. They even stick there tongues out at ya! Lol.
I love chayotey
Thanks
Yummy and awesome , ❤🥰🐒🐘🍀
Hello Ms lin, thank you
Does the seed inside the chayote sprout by itself, or does your mom have a method to make it sprout before she puts it in the soil?
Thx for the video. I utterly enjoyed everything about it.
So before she harvests the chayote the year before, I think my mom grows it out to be a very big size (in soil). Once she harvests it, she just lets it sprout on its own because the seed is just getting the nutrients from the squash. I think that's what's going on at least!
Wont be long before your at a million subs. I enjoy your videos
Thank you!
Looks good. Simple. But I noticed on the ingredients the ginger is missing. But is in the link recipe.
Very well researched. We have a Facebook group for California chayote growers. What is the word that Mandarin-speaking people use in the U.S. for chayote? I have seen "Su Su" on the internet. Good that you tipped off people to the perils of peeling. C
In Jamaica where I grew up we used chayote (Chocho) in soups alot but lately I've been doing stir fry and want to try fermenting it like in kimchi.
In my region we also know it as Chocho
I never knew one could fry Chocho!!
Recently given one of this. First time i see this food. So watching this to see what to do with it. I think not common item in Singapore
Chayotte is delicious raw, in salads, cubed or shredded. Refreshing as cucumber with a midly sweet taste
I really like chayote but I don’t know how to choose them or cook them. I’m here to learn
GOOD VIDEO
Thanks!
Would your mom want to seed swap out for honey nut squash seeds for chayote seeds?
We call it choco and usually eat the tips. Mostly the tips.
Miss Lin
Where are you growing? Zone? And can u show me description of trellis and total plants on this trellis going up to top?
My mother-in-law is a good cook
❤💕
In my island Jamaica we call it choco
During some dire periods of the dictatorship, we'd use chayote to make "apple pie".
Very good.👍👍👍
Health food
I'm waiting for that chayoyr to calm my leg swellimg
In St..Lucia,we call it christophin
Thanks for letting me know!
I have vines on chayotes. You think I have fruits? One is come back sprouts
Did you know..??..it has fruit on its root and it is the sweetest of all. I wonder why the Chinese don't seem to eat it.
New crop? My chayote has been resilient over 10 years, it lives like a weed in my backyard
What is the recipe
Can pregnant eat and drink chayote
No idea!
Is chayote same as "Fut Sow" or Buddha's Hand?
Yes!
The pictures are too blared.
