Ginisang Sayote

Ginisang Sayote
Ginisang Sayote. Most Pinoy foods are prepared ginisa especially the vegetables. We prepare most of our food starting with the basic sautéing of aromatics usually garlic, onion, tomato and the more savory ginisa using ginger. Ginisang sayote is no different from my other ginisa vegetable dish. I was at the vegetable market last weekend and the sack of sayote caught my attention. Sayote is not a common vegetable in Abu Dhabi for this reason it’s a bit pricey when compared to other vegetables. It’s been months when I last have sayote, I bought four pieces which cost me double compare to ordinary vegetables. I was graving for that carinderia style ginisang sayote topped with just hibe (dried shrimp) and perhaps some boiled pork. Here is how I cooked it.
