Ingredient notes

• Oil– for sauteing the aromatics and browning the meat
• Onions and garlic– taste base of Filipino ginisa recipes

• Tomato sauce– You’ll be able to substitute tomato sauce with tomato paste; use ½ cup of tomato paste and ½ cup water to exchange 1 cup of tomato sauce. 
• Water– use kind of relying on the specified sauciness
• Maggi Hen Cubes– for a deeper and meatier taste
• Greens– Potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers lengthen servings and add shade, texture, and vitamins. 
• All-purpose Cream, or desk cream– a flexible ingredient in savory and candy dishes. I belief Nestle All-Objective cream, made with milkfat for essentially the most decadent style.
• Brown sugar– balances the bitter notes of the tomato sauce with a touch of sweetness.
• Salt and Pepper – enhances taste and provides a contact of zing
