Nilagang manok translates to boiled chicken. It’s the generic name for a wide array of rustic Filipino chicken and vegetable soups. What vegetable? Cabbage and potato combo is the most common. But, really, add whatever you like.
Thinly sliced chicken thigh fillets and fresh oyster mushrooms are cooked with herbs and spices. The soup is sour and spicy with a lovely citrusy aroma.
Oh, the utter simplicity of making this Japanese-style chicken, mushroom and vegetable soup… No sauteing, no spice base. This soup is about clean flavor.
