Tinolang Manok sa Gata, also known as Chicken Ginger Stew in Coconut Milk, is a delicious Filipino dish that is perfect for those who are looking for a hearty and comforting meal. This dish is a twist on the classic Tinolang Manok, which is a popular chicken soup dish in the Philippines. What sets Tinolang Manok sa Gata apart is the addition of coconut milk, which adds a slightly creamy flavour to the dish. Not to me mistaken with Ginataang Manok where the coconut milk is the main ingredients making it rich and very creamy, in this dish we just use a splash of it this is more focused on the chicken essence rather than the creamy consistency of the coconuts.

The combination of the tender chicken, creamy coconut milk, and the flavourful broth is sure to be a hit with your taste buds. This dish is not only delicious, but it’s also packed with nutrients. The chicken provides a good source of protein, while the green papaya and spinach are rich in vitamins and minerals. Plus, the coconut milk adds a healthy dose of good fats to the dish.

  1. Sounds and looks delightful with the combo of flavours! First I thought those yellow chunks were potatoes.

  2. You are definitely entering soup season, while we are entering salad season! I like how light this one is, though!

  3. Sounds like a lovely combination of flavors, Raymund.
