Chinese Stir-Fried Chayote & Visiting Mama Lin's Garden | Cooking with Mama Lin

[@paulax3kanan]

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!🩷

[@sweetemeza1818]

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!

[@hellolisalin]

Oops, just saw this comment! LOL my mom says that VERY often!

[@Orange_flavoured_soda]

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

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 🙏

[@cindychurch925]

Thank you for this video! Your mother is beautiful and I appreciate her sharing her knowledge

[@carmencamacho2520]

I love your mom, she's adorable.🥰 Thanks for recipe. I will definitely try it.👍

[@beverlycadien6038]

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!

[@LucasM-kw2vi]

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.

[@kgoak5765]

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.

[@neoibnid303]

Aww bless, i loved hearing Mama Lins prefered flavor combination 🥰 precious

[@deborahbrown6029]

Thanks for showing us about this. I just loved it!!

[@Red--Bace2137]

I grew up eating chayote in the tropics. Never had it cooked like this. YUM. Thank you😊

[@theNSXman]

Thank you for this! Exactly what I was looking for.

[@michaellim2811]

It’s so refreshing to hear Toisanese. My father is the on person to still speak Toisan to me.

[@charlottewhi789]

Thanks for the receipt I will be preparing this tomorrow for lunch...

[@jokiyatrott5316]

Awesome video, just inspired me to add this to my garden thank you

[@freedomqueen3839]

I never cooked it with shrimp but the same way only I put green onion and Thyme 😋😋😋👌🙏🇺🇸🇲🇺

[@cocacolafiesta]

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.

[@mlynlim5337]

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! :)

[@xchibiox]

I can't wait to try chayote. It is on my grocery list now. Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@hellolisalin]

Thanks for watching!

[@supersonic7477]

My friend Tracy, In Costa Rica is going to grow a lot of chayotes!. That mom's recipe looks so delicious!

[@hunnyloveee]

Love the mini Chinese lesson at the end!! 🥰 Keep it coming pls!!

[@hellolisalin]

Thank you!

[@lis819]

I love part too! Chinese is a beautiful language:))

[@james-jq8sk]

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...

[@bertinacheriza2892]

I’m going to try your way thank you

[@pawshands9706]

Chayote is a staple of the Caribbean and one of my favorite cooking fruits. So versatile and packed with nutrients. Lovely video!

[@josephprendergast2420]

Yes your right in jamaica we call it chocho and we put it in chicken soup 🍲 😋 big staple

[@colleenwong]

Mama Lin is so cute!

[@wantshelamokgohloa641]

Thank you 😊

[@paloman9800]

Do you think you could make a video on how to grow it from start to finish beautiful video by the way.

[@hellolisalin]

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!

[@Drawson663]

That was Great

[@limoonanakanjaak9749]

Thank Lisa Lin for the recipe

[@immaculaverneus3367]

I love it

[@salimwongjeng8098]

Wow yummy

[@qualqui]

Hop Jeung ga, nice, there's a Mexican here on KZbin 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.🤠

[@milabael2803]

Thank you watching from Toronto

[@EvertvanIngen]

Your mom's such a sweetheart

[@coolbreeze4576]

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.

[@gracefoya4609]

In my region we also know it as Chocho

[@gracefoya4609]

I never knew one could fry Chocho!!

[@mariekeung7187]

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!

[@hellolisalin]

Thanks for watching, Marie! As I learned on Instagram, there's so many names for this vegetable, depending on the different culture!

[@mariekeung7187]

@@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!

[@hellolisalin]

@@mariekeung7187 I hear you!!

[@mariekeung7187]

@@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!

[@lg5421]

Thanks

[@main2333]

Looks good. Simple. But I noticed on the ingredients the ginger is missing. But is in the link recipe.

[@jolynce]

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 :)

[@hellolisalin]

Oh, thanks!!

[@max_meliani]

Chayotte is delicious raw, in salads, cubed or shredded. Refreshing as cucumber with a midly sweet taste

[@MyFavourites1]

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.

[@hellolisalin]

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!

[@shineleichannel2475]

Hello Ms lin, thank you

[@carmelamcneill8551]

Yummy and awesome , ❤🥰🐒🐘🍀

[@surekhalimbu9389]

I love chayotey

[@cooliceman0001]

Wont be long before your at a million subs. I enjoy your videos

[@hellolisalin]

Thank you!

[@leslietiu8971]

Lisa speaks good Cantonese I hope that she can write the language too,good for her

[@lancehill6133]

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

[@kaipokine97]

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?

[@metamas3am]

Would your mom want to seed swap out for honey nut squash seeds for chayote seeds?

[@SuccessforLifester]

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

[@mariascott3424]

In my island Jamaica we call it choco

[@HellosunshineUSA]

I really like chayote but I don’t know how to choose them or cook them. I’m here to learn

[@MissPeachCobbler]

❤💕

[@jillbern1587]

We call it choco and usually eat the tips. Mostly the tips.

[@wanpynbiangsumer3759]

My mother-in-law is a good cook

Thanks!

[@squidplummer7610]

[@hellolisalin]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@shankargopal4150]

What do you eat it with? Rice, noodles? Or by itself?

[@hellolisalin]

I usually serve it with rice.

[@Tsusagi]

New crop? My chayote has been resilient over 10 years, it lives like a weed in my backyard

[@sanjibkirateerai5368]

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.

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

During some dire periods of the dictatorship, we'd use chayote to make "apple pie". Very good.👍👍👍

[@carolineameso818]

Can pregnant eat and drink chayote

[@hellolisalin]

No idea!

[@sitmengchue4077]

Is chayote same as "Fut Sow" or Buddha's Hand?

[@hellolisalin]

Yes!

The pictures are too blared.
