Instructions

Prepare all of the necessary ingredients.
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they become fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
Incorporate the ginger and fish sauce, stirring continuously for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Introduce the squash and let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, approximately 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the bok choy and spinach, cooking until the spinach slightly wilts, around 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately while hot.
Enjoy your homemade Tinola!
