Chicken Papaya

Ingredients:

2-3 Tbsp Cooking oil
1 small onion, minced
1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh Ginger, minced
2-3 lb whole Chicken or parts cut into bite sized portions, remove skin
2 Tbsp Fish sauce (patis)
3-4 C Water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 C peeled and cubed unripened (green) Papaya

Instructions:

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