Sinigang na Baboy or Pork Sinigang is my daughter's favorite food. It can be well described as a sour soup dish with vegetables and with pork as the main ingredient. She doesn't eat so much pork though but she craves for the sour or "asim" taste of the Sinigang soup. Preparing or cooking Sinigang na Baboy is not that difficult at all. In fact, it's so easy and simple that even a 1st Grader can do it! Gone are the days that you need to get fresh tamarind and extract the juice from it. Today, we already have Sinigang na Baboy Powder Mix that are readily available in all supermarkets and grocery stores.
My Sinigang na Baboy Recipe has no secret ingredient at all. All you need to do is make sure that the pork is tender enough and get the right sour or "asim" taste and your are done!
Here is my Sinigang na Baboy Recipe. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 10 tamarind seeds or 1 package sinigang mix
- 1 kilo pork; cut in 1 1/2 inches chunks (liempo, kasim, or ribs)
- 1 onion; sliced
- 4 tomatoes; sliced
- 1 radish (labanos); sliced
- 5 string beans(sitaw), cut in 2” length
- 1/2 cup kangkong leaves (river spinach)
- 4 pieces gabi (taro); peeled and cut in halve
- 2 whole siling haba (long green pepper)
Cooking Procedure:
- Boil the tamarind seeds, then mash them to extract the tamarind juice. Set aside.
- In a stock pot or sauce pan, boil the pork until tender
- Add the onions, tomatoes and tamarind juice
- Add gabi, then simmer until it thickens the soup
- Add the radish and string beans until tender
- Then lastly, add the kangkong leaves and the sili (pepper)
- Season with fish sauce according to desired taste
Note: If you prefer to use sinigang mix instead of tamarind juice, then pour the mix together with the onions and tomatoes.
Hot Tip:
- I personally like Pork Belly because I find it more savory.
- Try Sinigang Mix with Gabi. It makes your Sinigang soup thicker and richer.
