Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chicken Tinola has always been a Filipino favorite because of its delicious taste and comforting effects. In addition, it is also easy to prepare and friendly to the budget. Due to the popularity of this Filipino chicken soup dish, people have been trying to make different versions and variations of it to suit their preferences and make use of ingredients at hand.

Tinolang Manok sa Upo Recipe Panlasang Pinoy

Tinolang Manok sa Upo is a simple version of chicken tinola that makes use of Opo squash (locally known as Upo) as an alternative to either green papaya or chayote. The preparation is simple and straightforward. This means that this recipe is perfect for beginners.

Upo or Opo squash is available in different sizes. This recipe makes use of young upo, which is around 10 to 12 inches in length. I prefer using this compared to matured upo because the seeds are still soft and we can enjoy the vegetable even with seeds-on.

There is no right or wrong ways to cut the upo. Slice it the way you like. I had mine sliced into large chunks, which is what I would typically do for papaya and chayote. If you don’t plan to cook the upo within 10 minute after cutting, I suggest to soak it first in water to prevent the core from turning brown due to oxidation.

Tinolang Manok sa Upo is always best with greens. Malunggay leaves and hot pepper leaves are recommended for this recipe. Spinach is also a good alternative. You can also add a piece or two of long green peppers (siling pansigang).
