Tinolang Manok Recipe is a staple dish in our home. My dad usually cooks it for two to three times a month. I think it’s my dad’s go to recipe for chicken. Come to think of it. My dad never cooks other chicken dish besides tinola.
Tinolang manok is a Filipino soup – based dish. It has a warm gingery and rich chicken flavor. Sliced green papaya or sayote is usually added to this dish as well as malunggay leaves or dahoon ng sili.
Basically, this dish is very simple to do. Simply sauté the ginger, garlic, onion and chicken. Then, water is added and you season it with fish sauce or patis and ground black pepper. You just need to simmer it until the chicken is done, then, the vegetables are added until cooked.
However, for this Tinolang Manok Recipe, I made it extra chickeny and flavorful with Knorr Savor Rich Chicken Liquid Seasoning. Yup! The soup did taste more flavorful. Another thing I like about it is its natural taste compared to the artificial – like taste of the chicken bouillon cube. I could probably say that the soup would still taste flavorful even with less meat.
Tips
Chicken has its distinct raw smell and flavor. If you don’t wash it well it could affect the taste of your final dish. To remove its inherent smell, simply rub it with salt and pour some white vinegar and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, rinse it with tap water and set it a side until it’s ready for cooking.
Instead of using chicken, you can also use pork ribs, milkfish or bangus and even tilapia. For more tinola recipe check out my Tinola Dishes.
