How to Cook Sinampalukang Manok

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sinampalukang Manok is a chicken soup dish with a sour broth. It is has similarities to Sinigang, which happens to be one of the most popular Filipino dish. I like Sinampalukang Manok because it is simple and delicious. This dish has minimal ingredients  yet it is very flavorful. I prefer to have it while it’s still piping hot.

Tamarind leaves are traditionally used to make the broth sour. These are boiled until the flavors are completely extracted. In this recipe, I made use of tamarind flower buds. It provides a mildly sour taste, which I think is the same when tamarind leaves are used. Since I want my sinampalukang manok really sour, I added a pack of Knorr Sinigang Mix. It was perfect!

One of the things that make sinampalukang manok different from sinigang is its use of ginger. It is sauteed along with garlic and onion and then boiled with the chicken and tamarind leaves/flower buds to create the soup base. It sounded unusual at first. After trying the dish for the first time (many years ago) somewhere in Nueva Ecija, I quickly understood why ginger is necessary. It gives the dish a distinct flavor and it makes it more comforting especially when you have the hot soup during cold weather or on a rainy day.

Sinampalukang Manok almost do not use any vegetables. I only added long green chillies to have a bit of spice in my soup. However, feel free to add any vegetable that you prefer. I suggest adding either Spinach, kangkong, and mustard greens.

    When I ate this in the Philippines, the tamarind leaves are included. That’s already the veggie you needed. Not sure why you took it out.

      I am showing alternatives for those who don’t have direct access to the leaves, like myself.
