Filipino Sinigang

Sinigang is a traditional Filipino soup known for its savory and sour broth. This comforting dish is a staple in Filipino households, loved for its tangy flavor and hearty ingredients. The sourness of sinigang usually comes from tamarind, calamansi, or green mango, giving the soup a refreshing kick.

The beauty of sinigang lies in its versatility; you can make it with various meats such as pork, shrimp, fish, or beef, and load it with an assortment of vegetables like kangkong (water spinach), radish, eggplant, and string beans.
