Heat cooking oil in a cooking pot. Sauté garlic, onion, and ginger until the onion softens.
Add the chicken. Continue sautéing for 2 minutes or until it turns light brown in color.
Pour 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Stir.
Add the rice wash into the cooking pot. Let it boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add water as needed. Let it boil.
Put the green papaya wedges into the pot. Continue to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Add Maggi Magic Chicken Cubes. Stir. Season with ground black pepper (this is optional). Turn off the heat and then add the hot pepper leaves and malunggay leaves into the cooking pot. Cover for 2 minutes to let the residual heat cook the green veggies.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve. Share and enjoy!

Notes

Rice Wash: This is literally the water used to wash rice. Simply place the uncooked rice in a bowl and then pour a quart of regular water. Wash the rice thoroughly and then filter the rice wash or rice water.
Benefits of Green Papaya
Benefits of Green Papaya
Green papaya is incredibly healthy and offers several benefits for your body. It contains an enzyme called papain that helps break down proteins, making digestion easier and reducing bloating. This fruit is also rich in vitamins A, C, and E, which support your immune system, skin health, and repair of cells. The antioxidants in green papaya help fight inflammation and may support heart health. Plus, it has a lot of fiber, which keeps your digestive system running smoothly and helps with weight management because it’s low in calories but high in nutrients. So next time there’s a sayote fan beside you while cooking tinola, flaunt the benefits of green papaya!
