Ginisang Papaya is a delicious and easy to prepare dish that you can make for lunch or dinner. This dish is similar to ginisang upo or ginisang sayote – although the meat used might vary.
I like the taste of cooked papaya, be it cooked with coconut milk (ginataang papaya), sautéed (ginisa), or cooked with chicken and ginger broth (tinola). Of course, nothing beats atcharang papaya as an appetizer as far as I am concerned.
As I mentioned in the video, you can use salt as an alternative to fish sauce. I understand that not all people like fish sauce, so please try to substitute ingredients as you please. If you want to use pork, chicken or beef instead of shrimp, try adding it before the papaya and give it at least 8 minutes to cook.
Try this Ginisang Papaya recipe. Enjoy!
