Tinolang Manok is one of our famous dish here in Philippines. It is one of our traditional dish that consist broth, leafy vegetables like pepper’s veggies, malunggay leaves, papaya or sayote. Tinola is the best dish to partner with rice. Because we, flipino, love eating rice!
So without further adooo, let me share to you how I cooked my tinolang manok.
Ingredients needed
- Chicken and Papaya
- Green Pepper
- Tomato
- Onion, Garlic and Ginger
- Lemon Grass
- Black pepper
- Magic Sarap
- Salt
- Knorr Cubes Chicken
- Oil
- Water
Procedures
- First, I put cooking oil in my pan. When the pan and the cooking oil are heated I first put the sliced ginger in it. Next the garlic, onion and tomato.
- Let them cook for a few minutes.
- I put the chopped chicken on the pan. I also put the black pepper, salt, knorr cubes and I added a bit of magic sarap to add more taste in my tinola. After that I added water to boil the chicken.
- This is lemon grass. Lemon grass enhances the ginger flavor of the tinola, the soup. It also gives a fresh and lemony scent which lessen the fishy smell of tinola.
I waited about 10-15 minutes boiling the chicken. It's not exactly 15 minutes of waiting since I waited until the chicken will soften.
I prepared the papaya and a green pepper. After above 15 minutes of waiting, I first added my papaya into the pan. Papaya have a harder texture than green pepper, it is harder to cook that's why I put it first.
- When the papaya is getting cook I decided to put the green pepper and lastly I just waited for 2 minutes for the green pepper to be cooked.
