When we talk about chicken recipes, tinola, for Filipinos are one of the most remarkable dishes. Aside from being delicious of this dish, of course it is also nutritious. Of course all of us wanted our meal to be healthy as always and with that I would like to share another easy-cooked dish that will surely fulfill your taste for a food.
What do we need?
Ingredients:
1 kilo chiken, cut it to your desire
1 tablespoon cooking oil
3 gloves garlic, minced
1 thumb-size ginger, cut into pieces
1 medium-sized onion, sliced
¾ liter of water, to cover
1 stalk tanglad (lemon grass) or malunggay (either of both), bundled
green papaya, seeded and cut into wedges
pepper and pepper leaves
salt
First you need to heat the oil and after that put the garlic and make it half-cooked. Next to that is the ginger and onion; do the same with it. Then it’s the time for your chicken to be added too. Cover the frying pan or saucepan, whatever you use for cooking, to me I use frying pan for this or sometimes our saucepan and wait for 15-20 minutes or longer, depends on how strong your stove’s fire is. When the chicken is half-cooked add water on it and boil it. Then after that you can now put the green papaya. Make sure it’s cut to wedges. Simmer it and wait for about 10-15 minutes then you can now add lemon grass or malunggay, neither both, whichever you choose, it doesn’t matter, it’s still worthy. But for me what I always use is the malunggay. But they say that lemon grass is more palatable or flavorsome than malunggay. Maybe they believe that it has better nutritional supplements, but for me it really depends. Both are tasteful, edible and healthy. Anyway, I’m going to explain further for that later. About the malunggay or lemon grass after a minute or two you’re already done with the cooking. Easy is it?
Now I’m going to explain furtherly how the two leaves I mentioned earlier differs to each other.
Do you know that Malunggay is effective in strengthening the immune system, most commonly added to plenty water dishes and also a good source of nutrients that could add semen count. Its tea helps to reduce inflammation of the joints and tendons. Helps also to normalize blood sugar level to prevent diabetes, better night sleep, and contains 3 times potassium than banana. I think that’s too much for now. You can search more about malunggay.

While lemon grass, it contains antifungal and antibacterial properties, also to boost immune system. It also helps girls for menstrual worries, because it lessens the blood pressure and improves our body circulation. It will also prevent you from having pimples and acne. Also helps to condition our muscles and body tissues. That’s all I got for lemon grass but I know there’s still a lot of its good effects. You can also do deeper research for this if it makes sense.
