What it is
The sour soup that tastes like home: pork, shrimp or fish in a tamarind broth with tomatoes, labanos radish, kangkong greens and eggplant. Ingredients: pork ribs or shrimp, tamarind (or guava, kamias), tomatoes, onion, daikon radish, eggplant, okra, string beans, kangkong (water spinach), finger chiles, fish sauce. Recipe: 1) Simmer the meat in water with tomatoes and onion. 2) Add the souring agent and vegetables by cooking time. 3) Season with patis (fish sauce). 4) Drop in kangkong last. Serve: steaming, with rice and a small dish of patis — the broth sipped first, always. Flavor: bright sourness over clean broth — the Filipino palate's north star. History: sour broths are pre-colonial; sinigang's tamarind soul anchors the Filipino love of asim (sour) that defines so much of the cuisine. See also: Adobo (Filipino), Sisig.
