Chayote or also known as jipang , is one type of vegetable that is often used in people's daily cooking. This vegetable is often cooked as the main ingredient in various dishes such as lodeh vegetables, stir-fries, or lalapan. However, despite its popularity and many health benefits, chayote is known to have sap that can cause several effects if not processed properly.
Chayote sap can cause skin irritation when cutting or processing it. Usually, this sap will stick to the hands and cause itching or even a little stinging. Therefore, it is very important to wash your hands thoroughly after processing chayote or use gloves to avoid direct contact with the sap.
In addition, rubbing the chayote pieces for a few minutes before cooking can also help reduce the sap that sticks. But besides rubbing, you can apply another trick in removing chayote sap. This trick tends to be more practical and safe because it makes your hands non-sticky.
Furthermore, the trick was once done by Instagram user @sarahpuspita1709. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using one kitchen ingredient. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @sarahpuspita1709 on Sunday (6/10), the kitchen ingredient in question is salt.
How to use it is simply prepare the chayote and peel it first. After that, slice the chayote with the shape and size according to taste. If you want to stir-fry, it is better to slice it lengthwise with a smaller shape.
