  • Filipino friends, please let me know what you like in your sinigang in the comments!
    I got so many request for this recipe, and I am very happy about that because it's one of my favourite Filipino dishes! I remember the first time having it and thinking "it's like the Filipino tom yum!" Sinigang is a sour soup, owing its sour flavour from tamarind. With lots of veggies and hearty pork ribs, this is the perfect healthy winter dish.
    Nowadays, most people make sinigang using a powdered soup mix, but I make mine completely from scratch and you'll see that it's really not any more difficult! Change up with protein if you don't eat pork, as sinigang can be made with any kind of protein. Change up the veggies, too, if you like!

      I'm one of those people! More often than not though, I leave some midway so that I can have some taro chunks to eat. But definitely, taro starch makes the soup milky and thick. As a substitute, I use potato (I know, it's not traditional).

Perhaps other Filipino dishes would be the stewed beef with peanuts and Palabok. I didn't have fun with them from my first bite. But the Adobo, sisig, the tofu with crispy pork and lechon were something I would wanna try again.

    Sour soups isn't something new to Vietnamese as we have so many and they are all very uniquely different. I've cooked this for my Filipino family but putting some techniques from Vietnamese dishes. They all love it alot. So blanch the pork ribs and pork belly first this way it removes all impurities and scum. I mince a bit of tomato and saute it with a big of oil and whole garlic (so it doesn't cloud up the soup if you don't mince it) this is to create a more orange color broth and fragrant. Pour water, add tamarind, fish sauce, onion and pork back in and let it boil for 1 hour. After add white raddish, chilli, okra and kale and cook for another 15 minutes. Trust me kale leaves works really well with this soup. For the pork belly I've remove the skin and roast it in the oven. So when you have the soup you also have a crunch pork crackly to put on top with your garlic rice :)

      Vietnamese Sinigang? Cool! In fact there is no such standard recipe for it because it is a concept. That means you can use any kind of protein (i.e. pork, fish, shrimp, chicken, beef), spice (any species of chili), vegetables, souring agent (i.e. tamarind, guava, unripe mango, bilimbi, cotton fruit), and starchy component (i.e. taro, ube) and it's still Sinigang.

      @@HachikoThePoochInugami I don't call it vietnamese sinigang haha. I call it sinigang so my filo fam can understand. I find my filo fam is easy with sinigang like you said. there's no strict standard. If I do this for my vietnamese family, they will disown me(j/k). We have an unspoken strict standard for certain type of sour soup, if it's fish, the vegetables and herbs used are dill or rice paddy herbs. If it's pork, it picked mustard greens or fermented rice, if it's beef it's dill and white onions only. We never use raddish in vietnamese sour soups and this is why I cannot call it vietnamese. It's more of my own take on sinigang.

  • @edgardoaguilar5393
    @edgardoaguilar5393 4 роки тому +7

    Normally, for the souring agent, it's the young, green tamarind that's used. Unripe tamarinds will not have a hint of sweetness in the pulp. The green tamarind pods need to be boiled in a small amount of water until cooked and tender. Then they're mashed in the water they were boiled in (but completely avoiding the bitter seeds), and whatever passes through the sieve is used to sour the soup. Sometimes, rinse water from washing the rice is used to boil the meat in. This imparts a nice milky, cloudy appearance to the soup.

    I followed this recipe: but I did two things differently. 1) I didnt use green beans because I used to work at a bean factory and I just had too much of it and I just dont like it anymore, but thats me myself and I's opinion. 2) I used the taro and horseradish but I took them out before serving, again thats just another personal preference.
    Id have to say, that the tamarind was the star and the flavor comes from the sear of the pork. I recommend those who understand sour soups to try this, its excellent. THANKS TO PAI!!

And sinigang na bayabas is my all time favorite, my kids don’t like it but will still cook 2kilos of bangus. So i will have lots of leftover that’s good for 2 to 3 days.

    You nailed it. We do not have tamarind pulp in the Philippines. We use unripe tamarinds. Put them in when boiling the protein, retrieve them when they soften & juice them up. Or if tamarinds are off season we use "kamias".. I can't think if an english term. But they are berries that grows from the kamias tree trunk & are super sour. Very endemic in Southeast Asia. I also prefer the bitter mustard leaves over kangkong. I add them late just to cook with the residual heat.

      The thing about mustard greens is that it's easy to grow. If you have a piece of garden space, get a packet of seeds and sow direct into the ground, come spring/summer.

    NAILED IT! you rock! i was always wondering how i can make this without using that msg packet! Thank you so much! My aunt showed me how to make this from scratch in the Philippines but I can never find fresh tamarind here. I love this stuff so much. it's my favorite but i only make it with the packet. def gonna try your way and will look for tamarind pulp at the asian grocery stores here! Would you make the tamarind juice the same way if youre using the tamarind concentrate paste from the jar? Try making this with salmon belly too! It's so yummy!

  • @kuyaleinad4195
    @kuyaleinad4195 7 років тому +74

    Tasty :P Being Filipino, we have this pretty regularly :D
    If you're new to it and want to try it, here's some common questions :D
    -What meat can I use?
    Beef and pork works really well and preferably with bones in. Chicken might not work but that's because we haven't tried it. Fish works perfectly well too :P We used Sea bass, Salmon, Tilapia, Milk Fish etc... Flat Fish like Dab might be difficult to work with though. Just cut the fish into segments and put directly in the pot with water. If you're adding Fish, you may want to add some ginger. Oh and Shrimp is good as well.
    -Is there a vegan alternative?
    I'm not sure if it might work but Shitake and oyster mushrooms might work :/ The meat is really important on making the broth so use mushrooms that will make a really strong mushroom broth. Also, increase the taro and bok choy :P
    -What Vegetables can I use?
    Any leafy greens work well! In my Family, we use Chard and sometimes spinach since they work well. Chinese Cabbage works extremely well and we even tried it with kale! Savoy Cabbage and Broccoli works as well :P You can also omit the taro if you want. The essentials are just green/long beans, onion and Tomatoes. Frozen tomatoes work perfectly on this dish so if you're like us who grows lots of Tomatoes in the summer, freeze them and enjoy a nice hot Sinigang stew throughout the winter!
    -Can I omit the spice?
    Absolutely! You can remove the spice altogether or replace it with whole peppercorns if you want to retain some heat!
    -What if I can't find Tamarind?
    The sour agent doesn't really have to be Tamarind. There's a lot of variation and you can use any 'smooth' vinegar if you want like Apple cider vinegar or palm vinegar. Limes can also be used since some people in the Philippines use Calamansi (Philippine lime) but add this at the end of cooking. Unripe guava or mangoes can also work. Add sourness until your broth reaches a smooth, comforting sourness.
    -Any side seasonings?
    Fish Sauce with lime should do the trick! If you're Vegan, use salt and lime.
    -How long does it last?
    It can last 3-5 days depending on temperature and if you add taro.

I don't know if someone already mentioned it in the comments section but usually, when we eat sinigang with rice, we eat it with a condiment made of fish sauce and the banana pepper from the broth itself that we mush in the fish sauce to make it extra spicy.

    You know, in Vietnam, we use taro a lot in goat hot pot. We normally fry it first to help the taro cubes hold their shape better when cooked in the soup. Otherwise, it tends to become mushy and kind of dissolve into the broth.

    • @TheTechiePinoyFoodie

    • @iamnoone348
      @iamnoone348 7 років тому +14

      Both Adobo and Sinigang are Ancient Filipino dishes...Ancient Adobo was made with salt but the Chinese influence introduced soy sauce as an alternative, when the spanish arrived it reminded them of a similar dish they cooked with vinigar and salt that's why they called it Adobar which eventually became Adobo...the original pre-colonial name of the dish was lost in history.

      Sinigang is an ancient dish because we have been cooking it even before the Spanish colonized us...other ingredients may have been added like tomatoes which don't exist in the Philippines prior to colonization but it's still the same dish just modified...The same goes with Adobo, The real name of Adobo was lost to time but it is still a Filipino original. At first Adobo was cooked with salt instead of soy sauce but with the trade with the Chinese soy sauce was used as a substitute to salt.
