For the past few months, my hubby and I haven’t had a real meal together. Either I’m out of town or just plain lazy to cook another hearty dish that we usually love to share together. He likes meat a lot but I love vegetables more than ever. That’s why I decided to cook this one for dinner. It’s just so easy to cook you can even blog or watch your favorite tv show while cooking (that’s what I’ve been doing while I cook this recipe). This dish is good for 4 people but in my case it’s only for 2 people (my hubby is such a good eater he can eat 3 servings of this in 1 seating) :-p
Here’s what you need:
2 lbs. chicken parts
2 thumbs ginger (crushed)
2-3 stalks of lemon grass (crushed and cut into 2 inches long)
2 cups chicken stock (1 chicken cubes is also ok)
3 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 medium onion (sliced thinly)
2 tablespoon olive oil/canola
Fish sauce to taste
2 cups of chili leaves (can be substituted with malunggay or spinach)
1 whole green (young) papaya (sliced into bite size about 1inch thick)
Procedures:
1. Sauté ginger into the oil in a deep cooking pan until brown.
2. Add in garlic and onion then the chicken.
3. When chicken is already coated with the sautéed ingredients add in the lemon grass and simmer until chicken is slightly browned about 10 minutes do not over brown the chicken because this will affect the color of the soup.
4. When chicken is already cooked, add in chicken stock (or if cubes add in 2 cups water/1 cube) and fish sauce to taste and let it boil.
5. While boiling add in the papaya and simmer for another minute or until papayas are cooked.
6. Add in the chili leaves and serve hot and enjoy!
An easy recipe to a comforting dish that your family will surely love.
