Scaling – Double this recipe by using two cans of sardines and adding one more chayote. No need to adjust the cooking time.
Make ahead – You can peel and slice the chayote ahead of time. Store the slices in a bowl of water in the refrigerator to keep them from browning.
Serving idea – Serve alongside a fried egg and garlic fried rice for a silog-style breakfast.
Chayote sap – Some chayote varieties release a sticky sap when peeled. Rub a little cooking oil on your hands before peeling or run the chayote under water while peeling.
