Sinigang Na Baboy With Gabi Recipe
Sinigang Na Baboy With Gabi Recipe
This specific recipe uses pork belly as the main protein ingredient. I also use
okra, daikon radish, snake beans (sitaw), ong choy (Chinese kangkong), and
long green chili peppers (siling pangsigang). I use more vegetables because
my kids love it.
Start to cook sinigang by boiling onions and tomato. This provides flavor to
the broth. Do this by boiling water in a wide and deep cooking pot. Add these
ingredients after the water boils.
Pork belly goes into the pot. Cook it for 25 to 30 minutes between low to
medium heat. Add the taro and continue to boil in medium heat for 20 to 30
minutes or until the pork gets very tender. I like it when the gabi or taro melts
into the soup and creates a thick consistency. This is the reason why I cook it
longer. I also mash a piece or two in the middle of the cooking process.
The seasonings can be added after putting the mix into the pot, or you can do
it once the dish is cooked. For this recipe, I added fish sauce and ground
black pepper right after the sinigang mix. Daikon radish is also added at this
point. Let the radish cook for 5 minutes before adding all the remaining
vegetables.
My family loves super sour sinigang. For this reason, I use more sinigang mix
than what is suggested in the recipe below. If you prefer the same, you can
always add more sinigang mix based on your preference. I also like to have a
sauce with spicy fish sauce on my side when eating sinigang na baboy.
The most important thing to consider in making sinigang dishes is the level of
sourness of the soup. There are many ingredients that you can use to make
this dish sour. Traditional ingredients are unripe tamarind, bilimbi (kamias),
and guava. The latter will provide a mild level of sourness. Personally, I like
mine very sour and I discovered that using “sinigang sa sampaloc mix”
provides just the right level of sour that I want. It also saves me time.
When is sinigang na baboy best eaten? It can be anytime you crave for it.
However, I like it better for dinner especially when the weather is cold or if it is
rainy (or snowy for that matter). Having sinigang makes me feel warm and
toasty.
