Instructions

Tamarind paste

  1. Make your own tamarind paste using my instructions, or prepare store-bought tamarind paste, rehydrating if necessary.

Sinigang

  1. Pat the pork dry with a paper towel to improve browning during searing.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and begin to sear your meat in batches until all the sides have a nice golden brown crust. This should be about 2-5 minutes per batch. Try to not crowd the meat while searing. Transfer the meat onto a clean plate.
  3. In the same pot, add the onions and saute for about one minute or until the onions are slightly translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds or until it’s fragrant.
  4. Add 2 cups of filtered water to deglaze the pot thoroughly. Gently scrape the golden brown parts from the searing meat at the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the meat back to the pot with only 4 tomatoes (reserve the 5th one for later). Add 2 tablespoons of salt and stir to dissolve.
  6. Add 6 cups of water or enough so the meat is completely submerged. Bring the heat up to medium-high heat, once the liquid hits a boil let it boil for about 30 seconds.
  7. Drop the heat to a simmer (about medium-low heat) and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the meat is tender to your liking.
  8. Add the tamarind paste, pepper, and fish sauce to the pot and stir.
  9. Add the last tomato, eggplant, okra, string beans, and daikon radish into the pot and stir. Simmer for 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are tender, then add kang kong and cook for an additional one minute.
  10. Taste the soup and adjust with salt, pepper, or lime juice based on your preference. Serve immediately with a side of rice.
