Instructions
Heat cooking oil in a pan over low heat. Add the sliced luncheon meat and cook until lightly browned.
Remove the luncheon meat from the pan and set aside.
Using the same pan, add the butter and let it melt.
Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant. Add fish sauce and stir.
Add the sliced chayote, carrots, and snow peas. Season with ground black pepper, sugar, and salt. Mix well, cover, and cook. Stir occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the boiled quail eggs and the fried luncheon meat. Mix gently.
Pour in the all-purpose cream and add the water. Stir well, cover, and continue cooking.
Cook until the vegetables are tender and the sauce becomes creamy. Adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy.
Replace the luncheon meat with shrimp, squid, or crab sticks for a more traditional seafood-inspired version.
