Sometimes, household finances can get pretty tight to manage and it's always nice to find ways to cut food cost without compromising taste. If you are looking for a vegetable dish that's delicious and nutritious as well as budget-friendly, this ginisang sayote definitely fits the bill. Sayote is one of the cheapest vegetables to start with and by chopping the shrimp, we are able to use less in the dish.

Ginisang Sayote

Ginisang sayote pairs well with white rice and fried fish or grilled meat. This quick stir-fry requires the most basic of ingredients and the addition of oyster sauce does wonder to its overall flavor. Try it for dinner tonight and make sure to check out my Ginisang Sayote with Chicken version. Enjoy!

      Hi Julie, please post "desktop" on the actual giveaway post. I use a plug in for giveaways and it draws from the comments. That's why I don't answer the comments on giveaway posts so it won't count mine. 🙂
