Tinola in Tagalog or Cebuano or la uya in Ilocano is a soup-based dish served as an appetizer or main entrée in the Philippines. Traditionally this dish is cooked with chicken wedges of green papaya and leaves of the siling labuyo chili pepper in broth flavored with ginger onions and fish sauce. A common variant substitutes pork for chicken chayote instead of papaya or moringa leaves known as marungay or malunggay or kamunggay (in Cebuano) instead of pepper leaves.
