Instructions:- Boil the Pork:
- In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the pork pieces and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender. Skim off any scum that rises to the top.
- Add Aromatics and Tomatoes:
- Add the onions and tomatoes to the pot. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add Tamarind and Seasonings:
- Add the tamarind paste or sinigang mix. Stir to dissolve and adjust the sourness to your liking.
- Add the fish sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the sliced radish and let it cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the eggplant, string beans, and green chili peppers. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-10 minutes more.
- Add the Leafy Greens:
- Add the kangkong or bok choy last, just before serving, so the leaves wilt but remain vibrant and fresh.
- Final Seasoning:
- Taste the soup and adjust the flavor by adding more fish sauce, salt, or tamarind mix to achieve the desired balance of sour, savory, and salty.
- Serve:
- Serve the Sinigang hot, with steamed white rice on the side.
