Tinola (Ginger Chicken Soup)

Method

1. 1

   Heat oil in a pot; sauté the garlic, onion and ginger until fragrant and the onion turns translucent.

2. 2

   Add the chicken and fish sauce; sear lightly on all sides, about 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Pour in 1.5 liters of water and bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Lower the heat and simmer 25 minutes until the chicken is tender.

5. 5

   Add the papaya and cook 8 minutes until just tender.

6. 6

   Stir in the greens off the heat, letting them wilt in the residual warmth, and serve with rice.

   💡 The ginger should announce itself — slice generously.
