Sinampalukang Manok Recipe

Sinampalukang Manok is one of the popular sour soup in the Philippines. This dish are composed of chicken, vegetables, and tamarind leaves or tamarind blossoms. In northern part of Luzon they add ginger to remove the stench taste of the chicken and give additional aroma taste to the dish.  Some say that sinampalukang manok is just like sinigang dish, the only difference is the used of taramind leaves and blossom. Most of the time I prepared to cook sinampalukang manok than sinigang na manok because of the distinct taste of the tamarind leaves.
