Choko (Chayote) Stir-fry

VEGAN / GLUTEN-FREE / QUICK DISH

Stir fried choko / chayote with garlic

Ever wondered how to eat that light green fruit-looking vegetable with the strange name choko (or chayote)?  When the neighbour’s chayote plant grew wild over the fence, I decided to pick one and give it a try. As it turned out, every bite of this funny looking vegetable was crunchy, juicy and sweet.

Like with so many green vegetables, the key to bring out the best of natural flavors is cooking fast and keeping it simple. The simple stir-fried choko may not be the obvious candidate for a photo-op, it is nevertheless clean, fresh and appetizing.
