Add chicken. Let it simmer, cook until chicken is (light) brown.

Add water, for me, we like “sabaw” so I put a lot of water. I let it boil.. then I added the sayote and the malunggay leaves and then add the siling pang sigang. simmer until sayote is soft.

note: I add ginisi mix if kulang sa lasa or knorr chicken cubes.

Serve with patis na may siling maanghang
