MANILA, Philippines — You’ve had Sinampalukang Manok several times before, and you like it because it is like sinigang but it uses chicken as main ingredient instead of the pork, beef, bangus, maya-maya, salmon head, or shrimps used in sinigang.
Innovate some more by making it Red Sinampalukang Manok instead of the regular Sinampalukan. Del Monte shows how:
