It's always a pleasure eating Sinigang for me, so I decided to post its recipe.

Pork Sinigang Ingredients:

  • 3/4 kilo Pork, cut into chunks
  • 3 tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 100 grams Kangkong (river spinach)
  • 100 grams String beans
  • 2 pieces horse radishes, sliced
  • 3 pieces gabi (taro), pealed
  • 200 grams sampalok (tamarind)
  • 3 tablespoons of patis (fish sauce)
  • 1 liter of rice wash or water
Sinigang Cooking Instructions:

  • Boil sampalok in water until the shell shows cracks. Let cool then peal off the shells and with a strainer, pour samplalok (including water) into a bowl. Gently massage the sampalok meat off the seeds, strain again.
  • In a pot, sauté garlic and onion then add the tomatoes. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add pork and fish sauce then add the rice wash. Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes then add the gabi. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes or until the pork is tender.
  • Add the horse radish, simmer for 10 minutes then add the string beans and kangkong. Let boil for 2 minutes.

Sinigang Cooking Tip
  • Instead of sampalok fruit (tamarind), you can substitute it with any commercial souring seasoning like Knorr sampalok seasoning or tamarind bouillon cubes for this pork sinigang recipe.
