GINATAANG MANOK (CHICKEN COOKED IN COCONUT MILK)
This is a Filipino chicken dish flavored with ginger and coconut milk. Each family has their own version. This is my mother's version. It's a rich dish that makes your kitchen smell so wonderful! Once my family smells the ginger frying and coconut milk simmering, they can't wait for it to be done so they can dig in! I salt it liberally as the coconut milk tends to hide the salt flavor.

Steps:
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat and stir in the ginger slices. Cook and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove ginger and set aside. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the same skillet over medium-high heat without crowding. Cook until chicken is lightly brown on all sides. Return the ginger to the skillet and add coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then cover the skillet with the lid tilted to allow steam to escape. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach. Simmer uncovered until spinach is warmed through, 8 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, as necessary.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the onion, ginger, jalapeno, and ginger, and saute until the onions have softened.
- Add bagoong and stir to combine. Add coconut milk and bring to the boil, then add jackfruit and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced and thick. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add shrimp and stir to combine. Simmer only a few minutes more, until shrimp is heated through.
- Serve! Goes really well with rice to soak up all the delicious sauce.
- * NOTES * You can use 1-2 inches of ginger, depending how much you like ginger. If you don't like big pieces of ginger, you can grate or microplane it. * I listed 1 jalapeno because that's easy to get, and gives a mild hotness. If you prefer, use 2-3 Thai bird chiles; you can leave them whole, or deseed and chop finely. If you leave them whole, get green ones so people can see them! * Bagoong is a Filipino shrimp paste, that comes in jars. Buy "bagoong guisado", regular, not hot. Use 1-2 Tbsp, according to taste. If you can't find bagoong, use fish sauce, or even a shrimp bouillon cube. * I use regular coconut milk. I don't know if light might separate. * Be sure to get the green jackfruit in brine, not the ripe jackfruit in syrup. The green jackfruit cans I bought were 20 oz undrained, 10 oz drained. You can eat everything in the can. I cut into smaller pieces. * I used peeled and deveined shrimp, size 25-30#. * Instead of shrimp you can use pork. Use 1/2 lb, cut into small pieces, and add after the onions. * Season gently with salt and pepper -- the bagoong is salty and the chile will add spiciness. *.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of coconut milk. For the creamiest ginataan, use canned coconut milk with at least 70% coconut content. You can also use fresh coconut milk, but it will require more cooking time.
- Don't boil the coconut milk. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, and then reduce the heat to low. Boiling the coconut milk will cause it to separate.
- Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. If you like your ginataan sweet, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet ginataan, add less sugar or omit it altogether.
- Use ripe saba bananas. Saba bananas are a type of cooking banana that is commonly used in Filipino cuisine. They have a sweet, slightly tangy flavor and a firm texture. When cooked, they become soft and creamy.
- Add other ingredients to your liking. Some common additions to ginataan include tapioca pearls, sweet potato, and jackfruit. You can also add meat or seafood, such as chicken, pork, or shrimp.
