Coconut milk
"Ginataan" usually refers to dishes which are eaten with rice during the major meals of the day. It normally follows the form ""ginataan na/ginataang" + (whatever it is cooked with)" or "(dish name) + "sa gatâ"". For example, "ginataang hipon" refers to shrimp cooked in coconut milk, "ginataang gulay" to an assortment of vegetables cooked in coconut milk, "ginataang alimango" is mud crabs cooked in coconut milk, while "ginataang manok" is chicken cooked in coconut milk. Coconut milk can also be added to existing dishes, as in "ginataang adobo" (known more commonly in Tagalog as "adobo sa gatâ").
