Tinolang Manok

Tinolang manok or chicken ginger stew is one dish that almost all Filipino families cook and serve for lunch or dinner. Tinola is tasty dish made by boiling chicken sautéed in ginger and adding vegetables and spices. It is best eaten hot as soup or eaten with steamed white rice and seasoned with patis (fish sauce) and chilies.


Here is my own version of Tinolang manok:

Wash 1 kilo dressed chicken and slice it into your desired sizes.  Heat the casserole in medium heat and pour 3 tbspn cooking oil. Soute the garlic when it turn to light brown add onion, ginger, slice meat chicken, lemon grass with occasional stirring then cover. After 7 to 10 minutes, add 6 cups of warm water and let it boil to make it tender. Then add salt to taste, 1 tspn MSG and  malongay. After 2 minutes of boiling serve it while hot.
