SINIGANG NA MANOK (Chicken in Sour Broth)

I told to myself if ever I made vlog about cooking, I want it first to be my best recipe and what is better than doing what you can do best by doing what you know.  So I chose to cook my favorite:  Sinigang.  It is  Filipino dish in sour soup, can be from tamarind, guava, green mango, cotton fruits, bilimbi, and sometimes soursop, with lots of vegetables such as string beans, radish, lady's finger, eggplant, swamp cabbage, tomatoe, taro, and chili, sometimes with winged beans.  Sinigang can be beef, pork, fish, shrimp and chicken.  Although chicken is unpopular Sinigang because chicken is best for Tinola or Nilaga (stewed) but we have this dish called Sinampalukang Manok which is cooked with young leaves of tamarind and the vegetables are almost the same, so it makes sense to cook Sinigang na Manok.  My father's cooking inspired me and Sinigang na Baboy (portk) is my first expertise.
