Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb chicken wings and drummettes
5 tbsp fish sauce
½ yellow onion (chopped)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
2 inches of ginger (julienned)
6 c filtered water (more if necessary)
2 small chayote (cut into ½ inch cubes)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 c spinach (cleaned)
1 c moringa leaves (stripped and cleaned)
½ tsp black pepper
salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and put it in a storage container. Pour two tablespoons of fish sauce into the bowl and mix to make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated. Cover the container with a lid and marinate on the counter for at least two hours. Note: If you put the chicken in the fridge to marinate, you need to remove it at least 20 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature, otherwise the chicken will cook unevenly.
  • In a pot over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and the onions. Saute for about one to two minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for one minute until fragrant, but not burned.
  • Add the chicken into the pot and stir all the ingredients. Continue to the chicken in the pot for 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is brown on the outside, or the internal chicken temperature reads 135 °F.
  • Add the water and the rest of the fish sauce into the pot and stir. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and continue a simmer for about 30 minutes covered with the lid.
  • Remember to stir occasionally and skim the fat and scum off the top of the soup.
  • Add the chayote and continue to cook for 8 minutes or until the chayote is soft and you can pierce it easily with a fork.
  • Add all the spinach.
  • Immediately add all the moringa, then cook for up to one minute to soften the leaves.
  • Taste test the soup and add the black pepper. If necessary, add additional salt or pepper to taste. The chicken should be tender and the internal temperature should read 165 °F.

Tinola, a comforting chicken soup seasoned with plenty of ginger and garlic, has countless variations throughout the Philippines.

FILIPINO TINOLA



Filipino Tinola image

I can't believe there's no recipe for Tinola on this site. it's a staple of Filipino cuisine, and it's basically a ginger chicken stewish soup. I've modified my mom's recipe to include only chicken breasts, as the original includes all sorts of chicken parts that I don't eat. As Filipino recipes are meant to be taste-tested at every step and tweaked to one's liking, these should only be general guidelines to help you perfect your own Tinola recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 -3 chicken breasts, cut up into small pieces
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, sliced
2 tablespoons gingerroot, zested
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 chayote, peeled and cubed (You can also substitute green papaya or winter melon)
olive oil
3/4-1 cup water

Steps:

  • Saute garlic, onion and ginger in oil for 30 seconds over med heat.
  • Add chicken and saute until chicken meat turns white. Add fish sauce.
  • Cover and simmer until chicken is almost completely cooked (7-10 min.). At this point, there will be a fair amount of broth, since all the juices from the chicken are coming out.
  • Add water (I usually add 3/4 cup and that gives me a pretty good, concentrated flavor. my mom adds a little more than a cup, and the flavor is much mellower and sometimes I add more fish sauce at the table. really, you should just experiment).
  • Add chayote and simmer for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For a more flavorful tinola, use a whole chicken or chicken parts with bones and skin.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your tinola a brighter flavor and more vibrant color.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables at the right time. Add the vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots and potatoes, first. Add the vegetables that cook more quickly, such as leafy greens and tomatoes, last.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a bit of brightness.

Conclusion:

Tinola is a delicious and easy-to-make Filipino soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its simple ingredients and flavorful broth, tinola is a surefire hit with the whole family.
