Tinolang Manok ( Chicken Stew ) Not a guide / Tutorial

Gooday Ladies and Gents !!!

Itzzyoboi Quinjohn again trying for the first time posting food related stuff also known as TINOLANG MANOK ( A common / daily filipino dish together with rice ) I love to eat and cook food, experiment and all. Now that is out of the way Lets Dig In 😋😋

Again its not a tutorial or Guide if anyone wants to cook or produce this things you can try googling.
This is how its cooked in our household so yes it may not be the standard but rather something similar 🤣🤣

First things First !!

Ingredients

Chinese Cabbage ( Pechay )
Sayote ( Chayote / Vegetable pear / mirliton )
Black Pepper
Ginger
Red Onions
Water
and of course Chicken

Prep the ingredients

Peel and slice the Ginger thinly
You can squeeze the ginger if you want and also you can choose not to peel it, Again this is how its done in our home so its totally up to you how you want it.

Next thing is prepping the Red Onions

Next up is Chayote / Mirliton / Vegetable Pear

peel it and slice it about 1" width and 2" long

next up

pechay / chinese cabbage

I sliced it into two parts

now that the ingredients is all prepared
LETS START COOOOOKING !!!!

🥘

Heat up the pan or wherever you wanna cook it, mines this one i dont know whats the counter part of it where you at but in Philippines we call it kaserola
you heard it right 🤣 we are the Latino's / Latina's of the ASIA

put some oil wait for it to heat up
then drop the aromas

onions stir a little
then drop the gingers too

Heat it up and stir a little wait for it to produce some juices to negate the
odor / foul odor of the chicken
we dont want something smelling bad when bitting down on our food thats what this badboys is for

when its all looking good drop them chickkkkennnnnssss 🐔🐔 !!!
make sure you coat every part of the chicken with the juices coming from our aromatics

add some black pepper / ground pepper
and cover it up let it simmer for around 3-5 minutes to fully eliminate whatever foul smelling it has

then i poured some water about 2-3 cups.

wait for it to boil then drop the chayote / vegetable pear cover it and let it sit for another 5 minutes.

check for the consistency of the chicken and chayote if its right to your liking then season it, mines salt and magic sarap
turn of the stove then drop the pechay
this way we wont overcook the pechay

PS. I used pechay since no malunggay / morringa is available
