Tinolang Manok Recipe

Ingredients :

2 tbsps. Cooking oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp ginger, cut in strips
2 tbsps onion, chopped
1 k chicken, cut into serving pcs
1 or 2 tbsp – depending on your taste - fish sauce (patis)
9 – 10 cups rice water (or plain water)
1 small green papaya, sliced (medium square cuts)
sili leaves (1/2 – 1 cup)
1 tsp salt (depending on taste)
½ or 1 tsp sugar (optional – depending on taste)*

  1. Fry the garlic in hot cooking oil until brown using medium or low fire.
  2. Add the ginger and chopped onions. Cook until soft or brownish.
  3. Drop in the pieces of chicken and sliced green papaya
  4. Season with patis.
  5. Cover and let simmer until chicken is cooked (Use medium or high fire). (Mix once in a while)
  6. Add the rice water, simmer until chicken and papaya are tender. (Use high fire)
  7. Season with salt. Taste and check which seasoning needs to be added. (Note : I usually add sugar when I cook any dish – just be careful not to put too much)
  8. Add the sili leaves. Just let it boil for 2 more minutes.. Then remove from fire.
Tips :
  1. Always watch while cooking … because soup may overflow while boiling… or garlic or chicken may burn while being cooked in hot oil.
  2. The measurement for the seasonings should depend on your taste .. so always do taste tests when adding seasonings.
