Cooking Instructions

35 mins
  1. 1

    Prep your ingredients.

  2. 2

    Sauté your onions in a little oil first. Then add your garlic until fragrant/translucent. (Don’t burn em!)

  3. 3

    Heat up the chicken until it’s no longer pink.

  4. 4

    Fillerup with water! Add 1 chicken bouillon cube. Once it comes to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to med and cover.

  5. 5

    At around 15mins, skim off the oil at the top. Add in the chayote and a whole chili. When cutting your chayote, you wanna make sure you cut off all the white part. It’s tough to eat!

  6. 6

    Keep boiling on med heat for another 15mins or until the chayote is tender.

  7. 7

    Add in some freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 tsp of magic mushroom powder. This stuff takes it to another level!

  8. 8

    Turn off the heat, add in your handfuls of spinach, and fish sauce to taste. I started with 3 tbsp fish sauce, and adjusted as needed. Enjoy!
