HOW TO COOK SINIGANG

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo cubed pork
1/2 kilo pork ribs
1 small bunch spring onion
1 kilo ripe tomatoes
4 pieces gabi, cut in half
1/2 kilo sampaloc
10 cups rice washing or water
1 bunch kangkong
1 bunch sitaw
2 pieces eggplant, cut in 1 inch pieces
2 pieces radish, cut in 1 inch pieces

How to cook sinigang:

  • In a large pot, put together the cubed pork, the ribs, green onion and tomatoes mashed with a fork. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes till meat is tender.
  • In another pot put in the sampaloc with the water. Boil for about 10 minutes until the sampaloc is soft and mushy. Strain sampaloc water.
  • When the meat is just tender but not overcooked, pour the sampaloc water into the large pot. Add the vegetables according to firmness, beginning with the gabi, then the radish, sitaw and kangkong in the last few minutes of cooking. Season with patis. The chilies may be added if a hot fiery sinigang is desired.
