Sinampalukang Manok Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sinampalukang Manok is a sour soup dish composed of chicken , vegetables, and tamarind leaves. This chicken soup recipe is similar to Sinigang. The only difference is the use of tamarind leaves.

Sinampalukang Manok Sinigang Panlasang Pinoy

Some people say that Sinampalukang Manok is just another sinigang recipe. I agree in a way. However, I think that there are still some noticeable differences that gives both dishes their own identities.

Sinampalukang Manok is best eaten with warm steamed rice. I usually eat this with a dip composed of fish sauce and crushed bird’s eye chili. I personally think that Sinampalukang Manok makes me feel better. Every time I catch cold or feel weak, a bowl of Sinampalukang Manok is all I needed to get back on track.

Does anyone know where Sinampalukang Manok originated? I am trying to trace the roots of this soup dish, but I cannot find any solid information. It would be greatly appreciated if you can share some information.

Try this Sinampalukang Manok Recipe and let me know what you think.

    This dish was amazing! If I had to describe it, I too would say it is Sinigang with chicken. After researching other similar recipes and reading the reviews below, I decided to add 1 Tablespoon fresh, minced ginger and sautéed with the inions and tomato’s. I subbed bokchoy for Tamarind leaves bc I wouldn’t even know how to find these. This is healthier than Sinigang with pork and will be my new go to. Thank you, for sharing your recipe.

    This is quite popular in our province, Nueva Ecija. However, we saute ginger, garlic and onions then chicken. We don’t use tomatoes. We use tamarind leaves and tamarind concoction from boiled tamarind fruits.

      I first learned of sinampalukang chicken when my mother and I went to visit friends in Jaen, Nueva Ecija.It was quite a novelty to me since I only know about the regular Pork, Beef, Fish, and Shrimp sinigang.For me, I could safely say that this is where it originated.

    Tried this recipe tonight exactly as shown (the only thing missing is the tamarind leaves) and my kids absolutely ate it up! And I mean the vegetables too. Thank you for the easy to cook and prep recipe.

    Looking forward to trying the rest of the recipes on this website.

    Thanks for your recipes. The Sinampalukang manok I am used to has ginger. That is the distinct difference between chicken sinigang and sinampalukan—and yes, no kamatis. 🙂 Sinampalukang manok is definitely sounthern Tagalog. It’s comfort food in Cavite for sure.
