In a large saucepan, heat oil and sauté garlic, ginger, and onion. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until light brown. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until light brown. Add patis and water and bring to a boil. Simmer until chicken is done, about 30 minutes. Add bouillon and sayote/chayote. Continue simmering until sayote/chayote is tender. Add pepper/malunggay leaves and salt to taste. Remove from heat and serve hot. Makes 6 servings.
Tip: When removing the skin from a chayote, wear rubber or latex gloves or remove peel under running water to protect your hands from the sap. Chayote's sap can be a skin irritant for some people.
