2 tablespoons fish sauce (patis) |
3 -4 cups water |
salt and pepper |
fresh spinach, chopped (optional) |
papaya, cubed |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot.
2. Add the onions and saute until transparent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and ginger and saute another 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the chicken pieces and saute another 5 minutes to partially cook and lightly brown.
5. Add the fish sauce and stir well.
6. Add water to cover the chicken and bring to a boil.
7. Reduce heat and simmer 25-30 minutes, stirring and skimming off fat and scum occasionally.
8. Add cubed papaya and simmer another 5-10 minutes until papaya is tender.
9. Remove from heat, salt and pepper to taste and stir in the chopped spinach.
10. This dish will be soupy when done.
