​A creative twist on the classic Filipino Ginger-based Chicken Soup.
​Ingredients:
​Chicken thighs (deboned)
​Hard-boiled eggs
​Green papaya (sliced)
​Chili leaves (Dahon ng Sili)
​Onion, Garlic, and Ginger
​Green chili peppers (Siling haba)
​Chicken broth (or chicken cubes dissolved in hot water)
​Fish sauce (Patis) and Ground black pepper
​Kitchen twine (for tying the chicken)
​Instructions:
​Prepare the Chicken: Wash the deboned chicken thighs thoroughly and let them drain in a strainer to remove excess water. Once dry, lay them flat on a large chopping board.
​Flatten and Chill: Use a meat mallet to pound the thighs until they are flat and wide. Roll them up and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This "relaxes" the meat and makes it much easier to wrap around the egg later.
​The "Surprise" Stuffing: Take a hard-boiled egg and place it in the center of a flattened thigh. Roll the chicken tightly around the egg and secure it firmly using kitchen twine.
​Initial Simmer: In a wide pan, arrange the chicken rolls and add sliced ginger. Cover the pan. Do not add water yet; let the chicken release its natural juices. Season with a little fish sauce and pepper.
​Prepare the Broth: In a separate pot, sauté garlic, onion, and ginger. Pour in your chicken broth (or water with chicken cubes) and bring to a boil.
​Combine and Cook: Carefully transfer the chicken rolls into the boiling broth along with the green papaya. Let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and the papaya is tender. Season with more fish sauce and ground pepper to taste. Add the green chili peppers for a better aroma.
​The Crispy Finish: (Note: Since the skin was removed earlier, fry the chicken skin separately until crispy to use as a topping!)
​Serving: Before plating, remove the kitchen twine. Slice the chicken rolls to reveal the egg "surprise" inside. Add the chili leaves to the hot soup right at the end.
​Plating Tip:
​Arrange the sliced chicken rolls in a bowl, pour over the hot broth with papaya and leaves, and top it off with that crispy fried chicken skin you prepared. Serve while steaming hot!
​S???????????????????? ????????????????????'???? Note: It takes a bit of effort to wrap the eggs, but seeing the look on your family's faces when they see the surprise inside is worth it! Enjoy!
