Tinolang Manok with Tanglad and Malunggay |
Chicken Tinola or "Tinolang Manok" is a filipino soup dish wherein chicken is stewed with ginger. Green papaya and chili leaves are commonly added. But in this recipe, I made use of sayote and malunggay leaves which are very good replacement. Lemongrass adds a nice flavor and aroma. On a cold weather, this is a nice dish to have. And this is a very healthy dish because we have the malunggay (moringa), tanglad (lemongrass) and ginger.

Malunggay leaves (Moringa), freshly picked from our yard |
Malunggay leaves or moringa (in english term) is an herb with many health benefits. It is loaded with nutrients, vitamins and amino acids. It has detoxifying effect ,strengthens the immune system and gives your body a natural energy boost. Each ounce of malunggay has seven times the Vit. C found in oranges, four times the vitamin A of carrots, three times the iron of spinach, four times the calcium of milk and three times as much as potassium of bananas. Soup dish with malunggay or moringa are often given to pregnant women and lactating mothers because of the superb health benefits it gives.
Lemongrass not only gives a nice flavor and aroma, but is also known as an herb with healing qualities, can treat colds and flu, indigestion and body pains.

This looks very refreshing. I looked up Moringa leaves and they actually have them here but we call them 'drumsticks' as we usually use the pods for indian curries. I didn't know the leaves could be eaten as well. Very interesting. My neighbor has a tree ... hmmm ....
I love this recipe! I miss my Bicol! - thanks cuz for sharing!
You tinola looks really good with those nice green sayote. I hardly see malungay where I live, so spinach is what I use most of the time. Thank you for sharing.
