Sometimes you don't have to spend much just to eat delicious meals. Especially when most of the ingredients you need are available in your own backyard. Look what I got in my mom's little veggie garden. They are all for free.
Still, you will need at least Php 12.00 in your pocket to buy other ingredients (refer to the prices below). So here's my budget version of Tinola.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Knorr chicken broth cubes -Php 5.00 each
1 small young papaya (cut into small pieces)
1/4 cup dahon ng sili (sili leaves)
1 medium-sized ginger (crushed)
1 liter rice stock
vetsin (msg) -Php 2.00 per 1 small sachet
COOKING PROCEDURE:
Bring the rice stock, papaya and ginger to a boil. Add chicken broth cubes and continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until papaya softens but not overcooked. Add sili leaves then turn off the heat. Season with vetsin to enhance the umami taste. Serve steaming hot in a bowl with plain rice and tuyo (dried fish) or bagoong (fish paste) on the side. It makes 4 servings.
Aba ayos yan ah! Lalo na pag budgetarian. Nakakamiss tuloy yung meron kang tanim sa bakuran mo. Yan ang hirap pag nasa isang building ka nakatira. Walang pagtatamnan.
