Rainy Day Recipe: Tinolang Manok

Hubby requested for something warm for the rainy day. Good thing I actually had tinola in my budget! And although he didn't really appreciate tinola before, he likes it now that we added a twist to it....

Ingredients:

1 whole garlic, minced

1 cup cooking oil

1 tsp minced garlic

1 whole onion, chopped

2 tbsp cooking oil

1/4 cup ginger sliced into big pieces (or again, if you don't appreciate ginger bits, go for 1 tbsp ginger powder)

1 whole chicken cut into serving pieces

2 tbsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp sugar 

2 tbsp salt

1 whole papaya cut into serving pieces

2 bunches of chili leaves

1 whole garlic, minced
