Chicken Sotanghon Recipe: A Simple Filipino Dish

Chicken Sotanghon Recipe

Chicken Sotanghon Recipe is a quick and easy dish you can prepare for your family. The good thing about this recipe is it only requires few ingredients. You don’t have to actually use some vegetables I used. Simply cook with the vegetables you have.

It’s still community quarantine in the Philippines and it’s been extended for another two weeks. Which I think is a good idea. However, cooking everyday or thinking what will you cook for the day is a bit exhausting. We are currently experiencing scarcity of some ingredient, especially vegetables. The market is so far from home and the vegetables in the grocery is not really that fresh with is remarkable price tag.

I both a kilo of chicken last weekend and few vegetables. However, we consumed the vegetables earlier this week and my dad is looking for a vegetable dish. Luckily, there was someone in our subdivision selling vegetables and meat in their house, though it’s far from our street. Another luck, our neighbor was also looking for some vegetables and meat and they both went to buy some stuffs.

With few ingredients on hand, I decided to cook some chicken sotanghon recipe. Most of the time, chicken sotanghon recipe uses carrots and shredded cabbage, but hey, I’m few ingredients short here. So, upon checking our fridge, I saw a bunch of Chinese cabbage and decided to use it instead of cabbage. I used few chicken since we have lots of sinaing na galunggong and this dish is a perfect combination with it.

Tips

This Chicken Sotanghon recipe uses 500 grams or half a kilo of chicken since we still have sinaing na isda as our main dish. This will just be our vegetable dish to go with the fish. However, if you decided to make this as your main course, you can use more chicken cut into bigger size.

Some ingredients can be omitted like the turmeric powder. My dad wants some color in his food so he suggested to use either turmeric powder or annatto seed. I don’t have annatto seed so I use turmeric powder at a minimum, just to give this dish a lively color.

If you have carrots or cabbage, that would be a great addition to this dish. You can also add some hard boiled eggs if you want.
