Filipino Ginataang Manok Recipe Video

Ginataang Manok means chicken stewed in coconut milk. This is a simple Filipino dish wherein chicken is saut̩ed in garlic, onion, and ginger then stewed in coconut milk. A more traditional approach requires native hen (usually grown in the backyard). It is much tastier compared to broiler chickens and adds more flavor to the dish. As many might have noticed, coconut milk plays a huge part in Filipino cuisine. Different Filipino or Pinoy recipes require the use of coconut milk and coconut juice. I think that this is a good thing because we are making the most out of what is abundant to us but let۪s keep in mind that there are some people that still need to develop their taste buds for these types of dishes. Don۪t be afraid to try if you are one of those people. It just takes a few baby steps to get there; it۪s time to experience the great taste that you are missing.
