This is definitely a comfort food for me. My mom was a great cook and she made this dish on a regular basis at home many years ago. I never had the exact recipe from her so I made up my own, especially on the amount of ingredients but this recipe is very forgiven, no matter how much ingredient you use, it still tastes good, in my experience. To label it as a Chinese or Indonesian dish is a toss up, I don't exactly know the origin of it, perhaps it is a Chinese-Indonesian home-cook dish. I do not remember eating it in any Asian restaurants as far as I know. Chayote squash is also popular in Mexican or South American cuisines. Again, it is a simple and very easy to cook recipe. My family loves it whenever I make this dish.
