Pesang Manok is a Filipino-style clear soup with tender chicken pieces, potatoes, ginger, vegetables, and saba bananas. It's fresh, flavorful and healthy!
Bring chicken, water to a boil in a pot. Skim foam as it rises. Add ginger, onion, peppercorns, green chili, tomato, and potatoes. Reduced heat. Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes until chicken is fork-tender.
Add saging na saba then season with fish sauce. Continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Season with salt if needed. Add bok choy or preferred leafy greens. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes then remove from heat. Serve with rice and enjoy!
Notes
Use chicken pieces with bone-in and skin-on for a more flavorful soup.
The thicker the cut of the chicken, the longer the cooking time.
Cover pot with a lid so that the water will not evaporate while cooking.
Other recommended vegetable options: long beans (sitaw), napa cabbage, cabbage, pak choy or pechay, green beans, and other green leafy vegetables.
