Fry chicken in oil until

Constantly. Add ginger and
-garlic and stir until

garlic is browned. Add tomatoes until soft, then add 4
cups of water. Add anchovy and cook if it is used
instead of patis. Bring to boil, then simmer until
chicken is tender. While chicken is simmering, boil
beans in water until they are easy to peel. This is
done by placing a bean between your fingers and
rubbing the skin off the beans. When this is done with
ease, remove from stove and drain. Add cold water to
beans and then rub beans between your palms until
almost all of the beans have been peeled. Keep
replacing cold water and peeling will drain with
water. When chicken is tender, add beans to soup and
cook until soup is thick and beans are soft. Add
water, if necessary, 5 minutes before it is done++add
the patis if anchovies are not available. Variation:
Bitter melons, cut in squares or leafy vegetables such
as spinach may be used. Pork may be used instead of
chicken.
