Why does onion is not included on this meal?
This meal is very popular in the Philippines. It's an authentic Filipino dish mostly served during cold seasons.
I don't include onions on the Chicken Tinola I serve. It's because aside from this meal, I will also prepare a hot porridge for my kids which includes the chicken saute with garlic and ginger. We don't put onions on the rice porridge.
