Topic: Chicken
We always cook chicken tenola because my 2 year old son Azhfaar loves chicken soup so much. Adding tumeric powder will add color to the soup. I also like adding lemon leaves to have more aromatic smell and extraordinary taste.
Ingredients:
500 g. chicken, sliced
5 cups water
1/4 tsp. tumeric powder
4 pcs. lemon leaves
2 tbps. grated ginger
1 onion, sliced
1 ripe tomato, quartered
1 stalk lemon grass, sliced diagonally
1 tbsp. fish sauce
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 cube chicken bouillon (optional)
10 peppercorns
1 medium green papaya, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
green onions for garnish
Directions:
1. Sprinkle tumeric powder in the sliced chicken, mix well.
2. In a pan, put water, ginger, onions, tomato, chicken cube and lemon grass, let it boil.
3. Add chicken, peppercorns and lemon leaves. When boiled, add fish sauce, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer until almost done.
3. Add papaya, cook until done. Garnish with green onions.
You can add any vegetables of your choice if you like.
