Just want to share the other side of me guys. I so love to eat. hehehe :D
I love to try eating different cuisine. If given a chance and have a budget we dine out. I'm interested in learning how to cook the food that I had tried. ^_^
Most of the time I want to try those mouthwatering recipes I had seen in those cooking shows and cook books. ^_^ When I'm watching those shows, it seems so easy to prefer. So I'm a litttle bit challenge to try and do it by my self. Now I'm sharing my interest in food and cookery :D
So now I'll be sharing my favorite Filipino viand "Sinigang na Baboy" (Pork Sour Broth)
 |
Sinigang na Baboy is one of the Filipino main dish. It has many variation and you can change the main ingredients of pork to shrimps and fish. The most commonly used souring ingredient is tamarind, but you can also substitute that to guava, green mango and balimbi (kamias). |
For me cooking Sinigang is always related to having a cold weather. Or whenever I have fever and colds this is my comfort food. Sinigang is always paired with steamed rice and fish sauce (patis).
So for the ingredients you'll be needing the following...
1 kg Pork
1 bunch water spinach (kangkong), cut in 3 inch length
2 pieces medium-sized tomatoes, quartered
1 cup string beans (sitaw), cut in 2 inch length,
4 pieces taro root (gabi), halved
5 pieces okra, slice (optional)
8 cups water
1 white onion, quartered
1 packed sinigang mix (tamarind soup base mix) or if not available you can use fresh tamarind. Bring that into a boil then get the juice out of the tamarind, and that will be your soup base.
2 pieces long green chilies (siling panigang)
3 tbsp fish sauce (patis)
1 bunch water spinach (kangkong), cut in 3 inch length
2 pieces medium-sized tomatoes, quartered
1 cup string beans (sitaw), cut in 2 inch length,
4 pieces taro root (gabi), halved
5 pieces okra, slice (optional)
8 cups water
1 white onion, quartered
1 packed sinigang mix (tamarind soup base mix) or if not available you can use fresh tamarind. Bring that into a boil then get the juice out of the tamarind, and that will be your soup base.
2 pieces long green chilies (siling panigang)
3 tbsp fish sauce (patis)
Cooking procedure:
Pour the water in a large cooking pot with the pork and bring to a boil. Until the meat is tendered. Add onions, tomatoes and the taro root cook until texture becomes soft. Put-in the sinigang mix and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the long green chilies, okra and string beans simmer for 3 minutes. Add fish sauce then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the water spinach, turn the heat off, and cover the pot. Let stand for a couple of minutes then serve with hot steamed rice.
Hope you'll try this dish. Enjoy!
