    Plated Sayote Omelette with Pork and Shrimp (Bitter Gourd) is Today's Delight

    Quick and easy omelette dish that you can prepare for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Although, it is made with sayote or chayote squash, kids will love it too.

    Sayote usually used in cooking but to my surprise it is also used in salads. Also, I’ve always referred to it as a vegetable but in fact, it is a fruit which is a good source of Vitamin C.

    In my opinion, it is best consumed cook, tender but crisp. It is not as good when it gets soggy and mushy when overcooked.

    As with any kid, vegetable is not something to look forward to for dinner. My mom was smart to incorporate sayote (chayote) and upo (bottle gourd) into an omelette smothered with creamy gravy.

    She makes this simple omelette recipe appealing and appetizing in our eyes that she never had to force us to shoved it in our mouths.
