About the dish
Sinigang is a distinctly sour Filipino soup and one of the country’s most homely dishes. Its sourness most often comes from young tamarind, but guava, calamansi, green mango, kamias or santol fruit are also used. It is made with pork (sinigang na baboy), prawns, bangus milkfish or beef, with tomato, onion and vegetables: white radish, long beans, aubergine, okra, taro and kangkong water spinach. It is seasoned with patis fish sauce, and a long green chilli often goes into the hot bowl. It is eaten with rice, especially in the rainy season, and ready-made tamarind mixes make it quick to prepare.
