Tinolang Manok

Tinolang Manok

Tinolang Manok or Chicken Tinola is a classic Filipino dish. It is a chicken ginger soup based and usually served as main course. This dish was even mentioned in one of our Filipino Christmas song.

Tinolang manok is usually made with sautéed ginger, garlic, onion and chicken. Then, green papaya or sayote is added. It always has leaves in it. Its either, chili leaves or malunggay leaves. Instead of tinolang manok you can also try Pork Ribs Tinola instead.

It is always paired with steamed rice and this soup is even better during rainy days. The best way to eat it is dipping the chicken meat in fish sauce – calamansi – chili sauce or with bagoong – calamansi – chili sauce combo, though I prefer the latter.

Tips

Chicken has its distinct smell which sometime throw you away. The secret, just like cleaning the fish, is salt and vinegar. You just have to rub it with generous amount of salt and vinegar. Then, rinse it with tap water. Want to go further? Remove the skin. That’s what we always do with chicken tinola. Anyway, no body eats those boiled and soggy chicken skin right? Well, that’s in our home.

Want to make your chicken extra flavorful? The secret. Marinate the chicken in fish sauce and ground black pepper for at least 30 minutes. Usually, water is used as broth but using rice wash is nice way to level it up. Just use a fine strainer to remove the dirt.
