Tinolang Manok
(Photo grabbed from Wilmack)
It's been a while since we had "Tinolang Manok" so I decided to cook it tonight for our dinner. We all loved Tinolang Manok. Ang sarap naman kasi eh :-)
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken, cut into serving pieces (I prefer chicken thighs, drumsticks or wings)
1 thumb-sized fresh ginger root, cut into strips
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp. patis (fish sauce)
1 tsp. salt
4 to 5 cups water (or rice water – 2nd washing)
2 to 3 sayote (chayote squash), quartered (or green, unripe papaya or potatoes)
1 cup sili (chili) leaves or malunggay or substitute 1/2 lb. spinach · vegetable oil
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté ginger and garlic until fragrant. Add onions, stir-fry until softened and translucent.
2. Add chicken cuts. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken colors slightly. Season with patis and salt.
3. Pour in water (or rice water, if using). Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer until chicken is half-done. Add in chayote (or papaya or potatoes). Continue simmering until chicken and vegetable are tender. Correct seasonings and then add sili leaves or malunggay or substitute. Stir to combine until well blended. Remove from heat.
4. Let stand for a few minutes to cook the green vegetables. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
