I have cousins who love putting sugar on or mixing anything sweet into their savory dishes. I once tasted their sweet sardines with egg noodles. It was quite good and I'm giving it a try tonight on my beef and vegetable soup.
Ingredients:
- 400 g beef sirloin, cut into small strips
- 2 cups chayote, chopped
- 200 g Chinese cabbage, cut in 1 inch pieces
- 400 ml water
- chopped onions
- chopped garlic
- 2 Tbsp ginger strips
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste

- Pour 400 ml water and simmer for 4-6 minutes or until chayote is fully cooked. You'll know it if it becomes translucent.
