🇵🇭 Philippines recipe
Tinola
Tinola is the dish Filipino mothers and grandmothers make when someone is sick, tired, or simply needs comfort. It is a clean, ginger-forward chicken soup with wedges of green papaya and chili pepper leaves, nourishing in both body and spirit. The simplicity of Tinola is its strength, with the ginger-infused broth carrying the pure, wholesome flavor of chicken. It is one of the most commonly cooked dishes in Filipino homes.
