1 pc (100g) medium onion, chopped
1 pc (20g) thumb-sized ginger, sliced
½ kg (500g) chicken thighs
1 cup (200g) glutinous rice, washed and drained
4 cups (1 liter) water
1 pack (22g) Maggi Sinigang sa Sampaloc Mix
1 tbsp Maggi Magic Sarap

Procedure:
1. Heat oil in a pot, then sauté garlic, onion, and ginger until fragrant. Add chicken and brown on all sides.
