How to cook Sinampalukang Manok
Sinampalukang Manok Recipe s a traditional Filipino dish and is like Sinigang, but it is not a Sinigang variant because we first saute the main ingredients. This dish features chicken and tamarind leaves. You can quickly characterize Sinigang soup by its sour and savory taste, and this dish is popular Filipino comfort food.
The availability of Sinigang soups souring ingredients or “Pampaasim has a significant influence on its taste. That’s why in almost every province in the Philippines, there is a different version of Sinigang. The famous Sinigang Souring Agents are sampalok, Balimbing, Kamias, batwan, Bayabas (guava), Santol, and Pinya (pineapple).
The tamarind leaves give the soup its classic sour flavor, but other ingredients like tomatoes, sitaw, and eggplant help round out the dish’s flavors. Sinampalukang Manok is best paired with Filipino Fried Chicken, Bagnet, Daing na Bangus or Lechon Kawali.
