Pork Sinigang na Baboy Recipe
INGREDIENTS
• Pork: 1 kg pork belly or buto-buto, cut into cubes
• Souring: 1 packet tamarind sinigang mix, or 200g fresh tamarind paste, or 1 cup pineapple juice if you like it sweet-sour
• 1 large red onion quartered
• 3 medium tomatoes quartered
• 2 tbsp fish sauce (patis)
• 2 cups taro (gabi) cubed,
• 1 small radish (labanos) sliced
• 1 cup okra
• 1 cup sitaw (string beans) cut 2 inches
• 2 long green chilies (siling pangsigang)
• 1 bunch kangkong (water spinach)
• Liquid: 8 cups water, salt and pepper to taste
• Sawsawan: patis with siling labuyo
INSTRUCTIONS
■In a pot, put pork and water. Bring to a boil, skim off scum. Add onion, tomatoes, and half the fish sauce. Simmer 45 to 60 minutes until tender. If using pressure cooker, 25 to 30 minutes.
■Add gabi and radish. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes until gabi starts to soften. You can mash a few pieces of gabi to make the broth thick and malapot, which is how many home cooks do it.
■Add sinigang mix or tamarind paste.
■Taste and adjust with more patis or salt. The soup should be distinctly asim.
■Add okra, sitaw, eggplant if you have it, and green chilies. Cook 3 to 4 minutes.
■Turn off heat, add kangkong and let it wilt in the residual heat for 1 minute so it stays green. Do not overcook.
■Serve hot with steamed rice and the patis and chili dip on the side.
