Chicken Tinola with Sotanghon and Ampalaya


Chicken Tinola with Sotanghon and Ampalaya. I just love my tinola with ampalaya, I just can’t resist the gingery bitter taste of the broth. Be warned to those who hate ampalaya, this dish is obviously bitter. If you do not like the dish please skip this one.

I do have some other tinola version in the archives to browse. This is not a new dish. I had already a few similar recipes in the archives that uses ampalaya or sotanghon for tinola with various meat and or combinations. Just click the link list below to check them out.


Cooking my Chicken Tinola with Sotanghon and Ampalaya is no different to my other similar tinola dish. I am posting this one for the benefit of those who are looking for variety or just looking how to tweak that classic tinola recipe.
