Pork Sinigang

Who doesn't love sinigang
My son W, would not complain even if I serve him sinigang the whole week.
It is amazing how sinigang makes him eat more and faster and healthier.

Sinigang is a general term for a Filipino soup characterized by its sour taste that comes from a souring agents such as tamarind, guava, kamias and even the Japanese miso. There are also powdered ready-mixes available to make cooking sinigang a breeze.

The basic ingredients are comprised of - the meat (either chicken, pork, beef, fish or shrimp), vegetables (like sitaw(yardlong beans), gabi(taro corms), labanos(daikon), okra, kangkong(water spinach), sigarilyas, mustasa(mustard greens), talong(eggplant), etc.), onions and green chili pepper. The variety of ingredients that are incorporated in this dish makes it even more interesting to eat.

For now, I'm sharing with you my Pork Sinigang recipe.
