Hello, how are you? Even though it is hot here in the Philippines, we still drink hot coffee, and it is the same as eating hot soup, like Tinolang Manok. When the weather is cold, we usually eat this as comfort food, and we enjoy eating it with rice, too.
You can add vermicelli too, but I prefer not. If I leave it too long, all the soup will get absorbed by the vermicelli. So whenever we all one we always eat as soon as possible.
I know some of you add papaya to the tinola, which they say is the classic one to add to the tinola, but I prefer sayote. Do you prefer sayote or papaya, or neither of the above?
Ingredients I Used And Prepping:
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- 1 Kilo Chicken Wings
- 7 Cloves of Garlic
- 1 Red Onion
- 2 Tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 Chicken Broth Cube
- 1 Tsp Ground Pepper
- 6 Cups of Hot Water
- 1 Sayote
- 1 Cup of Malunggay Leaves
Time to Cook Tinolang Manok:
In a hot pot, I added 1 tbsp of cooking oil.
I added the chicken and cooked it for about 5 minutes or until some parts of it turned brown or crispy.
This is what it looks like when the side of the chicken turns crispy.
After that, I saute the garlic, red onion, and ginger until the aroma comes out.
I added about 2 tbsp of Fish Sauce and let the chicken absorb the flavor of the fish sauce.
I added 1 chicken Broth Cube into the chicken.
After that, I added 1 tsp of ground pepper.
To make the cooking easier, I used boiling water from the kettle to make the soup of chicken soup. I used about 6 cups of water, or what I do is I pour water over the chicken.
Now it is time to close the lid, and I let the chicken cook about 20-30 minutes on medium to low heat. I like the chicken that melts in the mouth when I eat it.
This is what it looks like when it is cooked.
Now I am going to add the sayote.
And let it cook for about 7 minutes or until soft.
One minute before the timer, I added the malunggay leaves.
Let it cook for 1 minute.
Serve it before it goes cold. Happy Eating, Everybody!
