small unripe green papaya, peeled and cut
into small cubes
fish sauce
chopped spring onions
coriander sprigs, to garnish
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
Method :
Bring stock or water to the boil
in a wok or pan and add pork. Bring back to the boil and skim
off scum, then reduce heat, cover and simmer gently for 25-30
minutes. Add papaya cubes and fish sauce,
bring back to the boil and cook soup for further 5 minutes. To serve, place salt, pepper and
chopped spring onions in a tureen. Pour boiling soup with its
contents over it, garnish with coriander sprigs and serve at once. The meat should be so tender that
one can easily tear it apart into small pieces for eating.
