Binakol
Filipino chicken soup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Binakol, also spelled binakoe, is a Filipino chicken soup made from chicken cooked in coconut water, grated coconut, green papaya (or chayote), leafy vegetables, garlic, onion, ginger, lemongrass, and patis (fish sauce). It can be spiced with chilis.[1][2] Binakol can also be prepared with other types of meat or seafood. Traditionally, it was cooked inside bamboo tubes or directly in halved coconut shells. The dish originates from the Western Visayas, particularly the provinces of Iloilo and Aklan.[3][4]
