Pesang Manok is a Filipino-style clear soup with tender chicken pieces, potatoes, ginger, vegetables, and saba bananas. It’s fresh, light, flavorful and healthy!
This is another simple and easy Nilagang Manok recipe inspired by Pesang Isda or Fish Ginger Soup. It’s extra aromatic and has an added health benefit with the addition of ginger and green chili.
Light and Healthy Pesang Manok in 3 easy steps!
- First, start by boiling the chicken in a pot of water until tender. Remove the scum as it rises on top. Cover pot with a lid to prevent water from evaporating.
- Add the aromatics such as ginger, onion, and green chili. Cook chicken until fork-tender. You can also add the potatoes at this point. Cut it in large chunks so it won’t get mushy. After 20 minutes, add the saba bananas if using.
- Finally, once the chicken is fork-tender, season with fish sauce and add your choice of leafy green vegetables. That’s it! Easy peasy!
