Pork Sinigang || Home Cooking

Pork Sinigang, the famous Filipino tamarind soup served preferrably over rice, has been one of my favorite dishes my entire life. I’d always order it from different Filipino restaurants trying out what they did differently. There are so many variations of Sinigang so it’s not like you could really do it wrong, I just took my favorite veggies and my favorite cuts of meat and thew in all the tamarind mix you could. You’ll understand when you eat it. Anywho try out my easy to make version – and if you don’t have a pressure cooker, just get the pork ribs 🙂

Ingredients

  • Choice of: country style pork shoulder (easiest to chop) or a slab of pork ribs (have the butcher cut it across in 4 pieces)
  • 1-2 packs of tamarind sinigang sa sampalok mix
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1 white onion
  • Assorted veggies: broccoli crowns, spinach, eggplant, baby bok choy, green beans, okra, pepper etc

Directions

  1. Chop the pork into small pieces, size really just depends on how large you want your pieces to be. Using pork shoulder, you will want to make the pieces smaller since it is a tougher piece of meat, but easier to cook with. Using pork rib, you can keep them larger as they will cook faster and be more tender.
  2. Dice into cubes the onion and tomatoes, keep the ratio close to 3 tomatoes to 1 onion.
  3. Throw everything into a pressure cooker (literally) and mix till juices reduce for a few minutes.
  4. Add water just to cover ingredients
  5. Set pressure cooker and once pressure starts to increase, time for 30-40 minutes for the country style pork or 15 minutes for the pork ribs for tender meat.
  6. Turn off stove and let cooker sit before opening.
  7. Add water to your desire
  8. Add in 1 package of sinigang sa sampalok mix (add more if desiring more of a sour taste)
  9. Mix, add veggies and boil till veggies for a 5 minutes.
  10. Serve over rice and enjoy!
