Pork Sinigang

Pork sinigang is a Filipino soup with a sour broth and vegetables. Lalaine Manalo’s recipe uses pork ribs, tomatoes, onion and fish sauce, with tamarind providing the acidity. Taro adds starch to the broth; radish, long beans, eggplant, okra, leafy greens and finger chillies complete the pot.^[1]

The ribs simmer until tender before the vegetables are added according to their cooking time. Tamarind may come from fresh pods or a prepared soup base. Other sinigang preparations use different meats, fish or shrimp and sour fruits such as guava or green mango. Pork sinigang is served with steamed rice.^[1]
