When talking about Filipino dishes, the must learn are adobo & sinigang. So here is how my family cook sinigang na baboy.
Sinigang na Baboy
(Sour Soup Pork)
500 gm boney pork (liempo ang the best para sa akin)
3-4 medium tomatoes kamatis – sliced (optional) (d namin nilalagyan yung sa amin)
1 big onion – sliced
1 Tbsp sea salt or so… yung iba nilalagyan na lang ng patis.
1-2 green chilis siling pangsigang – pointed ends cut off
6-8 cups water (depends sa iyo kung mahilig ka sa sabaw)
souring agent sampaloc ( tamarind puree the old passion way)
1 bundle of string beans (sitaw) – cut into 2 inch pieces
2 taro roots (gabi) – peeled and quartered
1 bundle of spinach leaves or kangkong – washed and plucked from stems
1 piece radish, sliced thinly (optional)
- Boil pork in water with salt till tender.
- Add taro, radish and sitaw. Bring to boil and simmer until taro is almost cooked (about 5 minutes).
- Add the souring agent and spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Taste soup and adjust seasonings accordingly. Serve.
