Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat.
  2. Add 3 chopped cloves of garlic to the hot oil, sautéing until they turn light golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Introduce 1 sliced onion and 3 crushed thumbs of ginger to the pot, stirring frequently for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  4. Add 1 pound of chicken, cut into serving pieces, to the pot and allow each piece to brown for about 1 minute on each side.
  5. Stir in half of the sliced tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Add 1 Knorr Chicken Cube and a dash of fish sauce to the pot, stir well to dissolve, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
  8. After 20 minutes, add the remaining sliced tomatoes, 3 long green chili peppers, and 2 bunches of bok choy.
  9. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with ground black pepper and extra fish sauce if desired.
  10. Once seasoned to your liking, ladle the warm Kinamatisang Manok into bowls, serving it with steamed white rice.
