Joy's Kitchen

If you love cooking and you want to learn how to make different food then lets learn together. Even though I came from Philippines I didn't learned how to make Filipino food just because my parent used to own their restaurants and we just served our self. I went back for a visit last last year and had a chance to watched my mother cooked. I asked her about her secrets and she told me that it is about the spices and when she cook she cook them for the children she love.

This is the first dish I made for Peter back in the day. Every time there was a party at his work or friend's house this is what he always asked me to make.

1 Large Ginger Root

Cut pork into bite size. In a large bowl put the pork, Vinegar and lot of pepper, let it set for 15 minutes. In large skillet heat oil, add garlic, onion, and ginger and saute' until the onion is softened. Then add Chayote, add the pork but save the juice for later. Let it simmer for 5 minute or until the pork is fully cook. Add the juice that you put aside and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Add Cayenne as much as you like then add bell pepper and green onion.
