Chicken recipes are always a favourite recipe, from making soup, grilling and stewing. Tinola is one of the easiest chicken recipe, with few and easy to find ingredients. The aroma of ginger and chili leaves, make it typical for asian cuisine. Nowadays most of the green leafy vegetables are frozen packed and available anytime of weather. We tried this recipe using Ginger Soup Base Mix, the taste of the soup is not as good as sautéing fresh ginger, garlic and onion. We added Ginisa Mix and season with fish sauce, the flavor is as good as doing it from scratch.
Ingredients
- 500 Grams chicken
- 6 cups (1.5 L) water
- 2 Chayote
- 1/2 Cup chilli leaves
- 4 Cups of water
- 4 Peppercorn
- Salt to taste
Maximize Ingredients
- 1 Pack Ginger Soup Base Mix
- 1/2 Pack Ginisa Mix
Easy Extras
- Fish sauce
Chicken are cut into the desired sizes, chayote were peeled and cut. the next step is to put chicken, chayote, pepper corn and let it simmer until boil, add the Ginger Soup Base Mix (Tinola) and Giniza Mix. Simmer until chicken are cooked and chayote are tender. The cooking time of chicken varies on what type are you using, it may take longer if you are using stewing chicken. The meat are tougher and a little scrawnier, but they're great for slow-cooking, such as in a stew, and they make wonderful stock.
As what the old couple always says " the soup is done, take a sip before it gets cold", after simmering for a few minutes, add the green chilli leaves and taste. Tinola can be added to our daily menu, or a back-up in row row situation. Don't let our fridge dried out with chicken or other meat and frozen vegetables and we are ready for the rainy season. Tinola is high in vitamin C, to help ward off the flu.
