I know this video is older, but wanted you to know that I made this for a family and friends get together and they LOVED IT! We're of Scandinavian descent but decided to try something new. Now, my entire friends and family are in-love with Filipino cuisine. Thank you for posting this!

[@mausanjuan99]

There's a lot more Filipino foods to try and I'm glad that you loved our sinigang. It's one of our favorites, too.

[@monalizzalaron4284]

Love this dish! Some Filipinos like to add taro in the beginning so that when the dish is done, the taro is completely "gone," making the broth more milky and thick. I like it either way! Thanks for another Filipino dish!

[@mabuhayPinay]

I'm one of those people! More often than not though, I leave some midway so that I can have some taro chunks to eat. But definitely, taro starch makes the soup milky and thick. As a substitute, I use potato (I know, it's not traditional).

[@sarahslifeadventure3776]

M H @MH it’s good idea using potato as one substitute though I do love taro

[@sarahslifeadventure3776]

@Mona, that’s good idea start from the beginner put in taro to make the soup thick. But personally I don’t feel taro has aroma hehe....

[@Prinren]

That is such a good idea! We rarely have taro here, only if I go to an Asian store and get some on purpose. I have some now though. 😏🙏🏼

This is one of the best Filipino soups I tried. I was a bit skeptical as I was told it was sour. But I was wrong, I never thought that it would be that wonderful. The one I tried was a combination of ribs and belly. 🥣🥣🥣🥣

[@xinghuali2842]

@@otchsigua8223 I agree, I guess I tried it (mixed viggies) once in Gery's grill. I only ate the squash as everything else taste bitter. Perhaps other Filipino dishes would be the stewed beef with peanuts and Palabok. I didn't have fun with them from my first bite. But the Adobo, sisig, the tofu with crispy pork and lechon were something I would wanna try again.

[@damiann4734]

Sour soups isn't something new to Vietnamese as we have so many and they are all very uniquely different. I've cooked this for my Filipino family but putting some techniques from Vietnamese dishes. They all love it alot. So blanch the pork ribs and pork belly first this way it removes all impurities and scum. I mince a bit of tomato and saute it with a big of oil and whole garlic (so it doesn't cloud up the soup if you don't mince it) this is to create a more orange color broth and fragrant. Pour water, add tamarind, fish sauce, onion and pork back in and let it boil for 1 hour. After add white raddish, chilli, okra and kale and cook for another 15 minutes. Trust me kale leaves works really well with this soup. For the pork belly I've remove the skin and roast it in the oven. So when you have the soup you also have a crunch pork crackly to put on top with your garlic rice :)

[@LuciferLizardo]

Vietnamese Sinigang? Cool! In fact there is no such standard recipe for it because it is a concept. That means you can use any kind of protein (i.e. pork, fish, shrimp, chicken, beef), spice (any species of chili), vegetables, souring agent (i.e. tamarind, guava, unripe mango, bilimbi, cotton fruit), and starchy component (i.e. taro, ube) and it's still Sinigang.

[@damiann4734]

@@LuciferLizardo I don't call it vietnamese sinigang haha. I call it sinigang so my filo fam can understand. I find my filo fam is easy with sinigang like you said. there's no strict standard. If I do this for my vietnamese family, they will disown me(j/k). We have an unspoken strict standard for certain type of sour soup, if it's fish, the vegetables and herbs used are dill or rice paddy herbs. If it's pork, it picked mustard greens or fermented rice, if it's beef it's dill and white onions only. We never use raddish in vietnamese sour soups and this is why I cannot call it vietnamese. It's more of my own take on sinigang.

[@hghtdclbns6267]

EDI wow. Sana pina-billboard mo.

[@Ryuuken1337]

i HIGHLY recommend adding in Okra, and bursting some of the pods.. the little seeds add a really nice savory flavor and the okra, a nice texture.

I am struck with such respect for your cooking for not using the sinigang packet and used real tamarind staying true to the gourmet chef that you are 🌺 Stellar sinigang tutorial! Delicious!

[@Jayjay-tv2es]

As a Filipino, I am cooking taro together with the combination of pork ribs and pork belly because what we want to achieve in the broth is the thick consistency. I am also adding red peppers aside from green ones to make it a bit spicy. I am also using white radish in it. Overall, you did it great. This is one of my favorite pinoy dishes. Love it!

Dear Pai, from all those KZbin cooking shows I like your show the most. You have a talent to bring food and cooking to your visitors because you can explain the style of cooking so well. Thank you!

[@yellowrain3601]

I made this yesterday, after watching this video, it was seriously good! never even heard of this dish/soup before. I followed this recipe: but I did two things differently. 1) I didnt use green beans because I used to work at a bean factory and I just had too much of it and I just dont like it anymore, but thats me myself and I's opinion. 2) I used the taro and horseradish but I took them out before serving, again thats just another personal preference. Id have to say, that the tamarind was the star and the flavor comes from the sear of the pork. I recommend those who understand sour soups to try this, its excellent. THANKS TO PAI!!

[@cyrusalmero9825]

In southern Philippines we add ginger and lemongrass together with the onion and tomatoes. These make the broth more fragrant and even more delicous!

[@ftinftin8937]

I love that you are very respectful to the original recipe but still manage to insert some uniqueness. I always use sinigang mix but now I'm browsing the internet for tamarind pulp. Thank you very much.

[@edgardoaguilar5393]

Normally, for the souring agent, it's the young, green tamarind that's used. Unripe tamarinds will not have a hint of sweetness in the pulp. The green tamarind pods need to be boiled in a small amount of water until cooked and tender. Then they're mashed in the water they were boiled in (but completely avoiding the bitter seeds), and whatever passes through the sieve is used to sour the soup. Sometimes, rinse water from washing the rice is used to boil the meat in. This imparts a nice milky, cloudy appearance to the soup.

[@rysachibana1486]

[@noelunson3996]

You nailed it. We do not have tamarind pulp in the Philippines. We use unripe tamarinds. Put them in when boiling the protein, retrieve them when they soften & juice them up. Or if tamarinds are off season we use "kamias".. I can't think if an english term. But they are berries that grows from the kamias tree trunk & are super sour. Very endemic in Southeast Asia. I also prefer the bitter mustard leaves over kangkong. I add them late just to cook with the residual heat.

[@j3j3monbuster]

Sinigang also has many variations through out the PH islands. My favorite kind is Sinigang sa Bayabas(guava). It's incredibly fresh, fruity and fragrant, it can also be vegetarian and oil-free. These days, more and more filipinos don't know how to cook classic dishes. Hence the soup mix packets.Thank you for sharing your version of this classic, pai. You always pick the most unique and charismatic dishes and cuisines to showcase. Let's keep Asian food traditions alive and thriving! :)

I taught my 14 yr old son not to use instant packets becaues i have stomach problems. I don’t care if the tamarind is off season and the price is too high. We still prefer using the natural tamarind, kalamansi, kamias, miso , guava and unripe mangoes. My parents also have lots of guava tree, we have limited supply during peak season. And sinigang na bayabas is my all time favorite, my kids don’t like it but will still cook 2kilos of bangus. So i will have lots of leftover that’s good for 2 to 3 days. Ang sarap kasi ulit ulitin! 🤤🤤🤤

Awww! I'm so jealous! This is my favorite food hands down!I love sour foods too and this soup is perfect during rainy season. Browning the meat before simmering is not traditional but I know it imparts tons of flavor to the broth. For the vegetables, yoh can add daikon, okra and chopped eggplant aside from bokchoy and water spinach. The green banana peppers however shouldn't be replaced because it is used in this recipe not for it's heat but for it's aroma. Try it please!

[@JJ-ks9ry]

Sinigang is sooo good on rainy days. I remember coming home from school during a cold, rainy, windy day and a bit drenched, despite, having an umbrella. While coming home, the sinigang smell from the neighborhood carenderia drifted by and, man, that was enticing! I had to drop by! I ate my dinner there and the soup! O.M.G. The hot sour soup warmed my cold bones~ ahhhh heaven 💖... slurps in bliss while rain pattered and thunder roiled in the distance 💕

[@geloarn]

Sinigang is my favorite dish, specifically Pork Sinigang. It is my comfort food. This version of yours looks very delicious. I would like to try it too. It is also common in Sinigang to add slices of Daikon Radish so that the dish would have a crunchy side. Some would also add taro if you want to make the soup thicker. For the leafy greens, you can prevent it from being overcooked by adding it into the dish right after the sinigang is cooked. Turn off the stove, put the leafy greens in the pot, and immediately cover the pot with the lid. The leafy greens will cook on its own because of the remaining heat and the steam that is contained in the pot

[@jcdaclison]

Hi, Pai! I don't know if someone already mentioned it in the comments section but usually, when we eat sinigang with rice, we eat it with a condiment made of fish sauce and the banana pepper from the broth itself that we mush in the fish sauce to make it extra spicy. Ugh, this made me hungry!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@siennameenah4947]

Banana peppers are particularly, specifically used in Sinigang for a reason. The flavor and aroma of banana peppers are what suited this dish the most out of all the other kinds of peppers. And they are spicy too. The taro is meant to thicken the soup. Sinigang is BEST eaten with a sawsawan (something on the side to season it with for more flavors) mainly made of patis w/calamansi and labuyo chilis. But nicely done, this version of yours. 👍😊 Love from the Philippines.

[@kuyaleinad4195]

Tasty :P Being Filipino, we have this pretty regularly :D If you're new to it and want to try it, here's some common questions :D -What meat can I use? Beef and pork works really well and preferably with bones in. Chicken might not work but that's because we haven't tried it. Fish works perfectly well too :P We used Sea bass, Salmon, Tilapia, Milk Fish etc... Flat Fish like Dab might be difficult to work with though. Just cut the fish into segments and put directly in the pot with water. If you're adding Fish, you may want to add some ginger. Oh and Shrimp is good as well. -Is there a vegan alternative? I'm not sure if it might work but Shitake and oyster mushrooms might work :/ The meat is really important on making the broth so use mushrooms that will make a really strong mushroom broth. Also, increase the taro and bok choy :P -What Vegetables can I use? Any leafy greens work well! In my Family, we use Chard and sometimes spinach since they work well. Chinese Cabbage works extremely well and we even tried it with kale! Savoy Cabbage and Broccoli works as well :P You can also omit the taro if you want. The essentials are just green/long beans, onion and Tomatoes. Frozen tomatoes work perfectly on this dish so if you're like us who grows lots of Tomatoes in the summer, freeze them and enjoy a nice hot Sinigang stew throughout the winter! -Can I omit the spice? Absolutely! You can remove the spice altogether or replace it with whole peppercorns if you want to retain some heat! -What if I can't find Tamarind? The sour agent doesn't really have to be Tamarind. There's a lot of variation and you can use any 'smooth' vinegar if you want like Apple cider vinegar or palm vinegar. Limes can also be used since some people in the Philippines use Calamansi (Philippine lime) but add this at the end of cooking. Unripe guava or mangoes can also work. Add sourness until your broth reaches a smooth, comforting sourness. -Any side seasonings? Fish Sauce with lime should do the trick! If you're Vegan, use salt and lime. -How long does it last? It can last 3-5 days depending on temperature and if you add taro.

It's great to know that another Filipino food is being recognized worldwide. My mother taught me to boil the meat at the same time with the sour fruit especially pork and beef so that the meat will absorb the sour taste more. Ripe guava, a popular fruit used by the Kapampangans in sinigang na baka is really great . When we used guava in fish it is called bulanglang and it"s one of our favorites here in Bataan coz being a next province to Pampanga, know for great recipes and where sisig originated, there are lots of kapampangans here, and my mother in law is one of them. But i had one sad experience with fish (milkfish) sinigang with ripe guava. When i was in college (1983-1987) one my board mates brought 5 fatty milkfish from their fishpen in Rizal i cooked them all with guavas to share with my other boardmates. To my disappointment my boardmates from Laguna, Cavite, Rizal Batangas, all southern part of Luzon did not like them coz they're somewhat smelly like under arm odor. Only me and those from Bulacan, another province next to Pampanga enjoyed the dish. Others protested that i should had just fried the milkfish or cooked them with tamarind fruit sinigang. What a disaster. I ate the dish for 3 days in a row for lunch and diner and i was constipated coz too much guava coz constipation for me.

OMG! I was just saying the other day how I should make a Sinigang! I love it sooo much! A good substitute for the water spinach, besides bok choy is mustard greens. Fresh of course. Gonna make it, and post on yer facebook page! xox

[@stlucchese]

it is pretty much within the same cohort of greens numbnut. Talk about attention f-boy. Pitful and yet its is 2017, HAHA

[@flipballer3475]

Mustard greens is best used for fish sinigang like salmon head or belly sinigang

[@scotthampton6062]

The thing about mustard greens is that it's easy to grow. If you have a piece of garden space, get a packet of seeds and sow direct into the ground, come spring/summer.

[@concerncitizen8988]

I'd like to see your video about it, if you made one.

[@angelomella]

Ribs go well with mustard greens in sinigang

[@arminadineabello134]

Super love. Thank you for bringing pinoy dish on your channel 😍😍😍😍😍

[@IvysKitchen]

NAILED IT! you rock! i was always wondering how i can make this without using that msg packet! Thank you so much! My aunt showed me how to make this from scratch in the Philippines but I can never find fresh tamarind here. I love this stuff so much. it's my favorite but i only make it with the packet. def gonna try your way and will look for tamarind pulp at the asian grocery stores here! Would you make the tamarind juice the same way if youre using the tamarind concentrate paste from the jar? Try making this with salmon belly too! It's so yummy!

[@bereniceespinoza5214]

Ivys Kitchen you can find fresh tamarind on Mexican grocery stores too. And the tamarind juice its a Mexican drink, I just mix the pulp with more water an sugar to taste, so delicious

[@MrWarbeast]

Kaidan Alenko besides all american fast food uses MSG. And those steak rubs or any kind of seasoning...check ‘em, they’re using MSG on it.

[@31newcastle]

Actually tamarind fruit is packaged and sold in several Asian stores or supermarkets around the US. That's what I'm using.

[@BautistaYarisantos]

Tamarind juice and pulp are actually found in any asian markets. Also there are filipino sinigang packets that don't have the msg. Hope this helps

[@xioniyxz]

Too bas you're eating and producing msg already

[@Seirryu-heart8]

White rice, sinigang with fish sauce as a condiment and then an ice cold cola as your drink!!! Amazing!

[@777residentevil]

I love how Pai adores so many dishes from neighbouring countries as well. Thank you for showing us your way of cooking pork sinigang (which I consider as our national dish since adobo is from spanish people). May I request a recipe for Singapore's Salted Egg Potato Chips?

[@timdella92]

Max Zam Adobo is actually a native technique of preserving meat. Only the name Spanish. And in Visayas and Mindanao, sinigang is a relatively new dish brought by knorr and maggi. Sinigang is a largely Luzon dish.

[@iamnoone348]

Both Adobo and Sinigang are Ancient Filipino dishes...Ancient Adobo was made with salt but the Chinese influence introduced soy sauce as an alternative, when the spanish arrived it reminded them of a similar dish they cooked with vinigar and salt that's why they called it Adobar which eventually became Adobo...the original pre-colonial name of the dish was lost in history.

[@josephlin4431]

Queen of Manila and Tondo Philippines ...sinigang is not ancient gaga,,,

[@iamnoone348]

Sinigang is an ancient dish because we have been cooking it even before the Spanish colonized us...other ingredients may have been added like tomatoes which don't exist in the Philippines prior to colonization but it's still the same dish just modified...The same goes with Adobo, The real name of Adobo was lost to time but it is still a Filipino original. At first Adobo was cooked with salt instead of soy sauce but with the trade with the Chinese soy sauce was used as a substitute to salt.

[@frankacuso]

Joseph Lin what's with the attitude?

[@AirbenderHPyeah]

Yum! My mom likes making it with salmon and she got lucky at the store last weekend and scored a bag of salmon belly scraps from the fish counter for just $3. We didn't have the packet but we had lemons and she used those to make the best sinigang she's ever made! We also like to add okra 😊

[@lordbyron3603]

Instead of tamarind, I use lemon ! I also add Mustard greens and plenty of tomatoes.

[@tonytalabis]

No knorr or maggi sinigang Mix is the way to go! Other natural souring fruit is the kalamansi. That's how my lolo and tita's in Laguna do it. Nice video miss Pai!

[@walliehanggod77]

Well done. You made our SINIGANG, cooked in our own way. Salamat. :)

[@jasonvergel3086]

while im watching this episode i miss my hometown i leave hir in Saudi Arabia because of my work. this made my day thanks for sharing another twist of cooking Sinigang... love all your food ms. pai specially the tom yam

[@4Christ74]

Taro is used to thicken the soup and also we add sliced white radish (daikon). Likewise, as an alternative to tamarind; you may use guava fruit, bilimbi (kamias) or cotton fruit (santol) but do not mix.

[@cc3mathews]

Well explained video! Just a few tips from a Filipino: for a more suited substitute to spinach, baby kale leaves or Swiss chard have a closer flavor profile as well as mustard leaves. Bok choy leaves have a bit of a bitter note that can upset the sour broth. Chinese long beans also taste very different from regular green beans so many Filipinos do not add any beans if Chinese long beans are not available. We also add or substitute for the beans, with white radish since it sweetens slightly as it cooks down, balancing the sourness and saltiness, often sharpening the sour notes for a more delicious broth. Thank you for adding tomatoes and searing the meat first; both definitely enhance the flavor. I also love the tamarind base for the broth.

[@braddyhyperchavz2335]

I think mustard leaves are more bitter than bokchoy

[@mocfive]

How come I’m just now finding out about this channel, so good

[@oliverboldtnorup1079]

My boyfriend is filipino and he taught me to make it, thank god he did, cus it is so gooooood

[@nhuphuong060688]

You know, in Vietnam, we use taro a lot in goat hot pot. We normally fry it first to help the taro cubes hold their shape better when cooked in the soup. Otherwise, it tends to become mushy and kind of dissolve into the broth.

[@TheTechiePinoyFoodie]

Như Phương in the Philippines we like it slightly being dissolved into the soup to give it an extra thick and mushy texture.

[@aaronvalerio19]

This is the authentic way of doing it... with home made tamarind soup base. Filipinos became lazy overtime and prefer the packette one loaded with msg. Thanks for reminding us how to do it properly Pailin.

[@nhuphuong060688]

Love love love!! My favorite Filipino dish!!!

[@oinkoink2149]

This is my favorite dish of all time! 🤤 You can also use fish sauce as a seasoning, or as an add on while eating. Yum! Another favorite of mine is sinigang using green mangoes. Some also add watermelon and that I still have to try. 😊

[@gaudia3985]

My family uses kamias, just because we need to put to good use the fruit which grows in bountiful clusters on our tree.

[@Gilvids]

Water melon? Some people add leche flan

[@kennethjordan2715]

👏👏👏Nong Pai, that's exactly how I cook Pork Sinigang. The searing just adds more flavor to the broth. This is my comfort food when I'm having homesickness. Perfect for rainy days.

[@tylerholland4652]

Omg this looks so good. I need to try this

[@edgarsantos2217]

thats my favorite sinigang pork ribs with original sampaloc taste...yummy... looks deliciously beautiful

[@geraldineemaladamaghanoy9713]

Hi, ate Pai.. Thanks for sharing some Filipino dish.. It's one of my favourite.. And I'm trying to find how to cook this sinigang without the instant packet but you shared it so I'm going to cook this for my employer here in Singapore.. Keep it up.. Blessing. 😊

[@jeromebautista5383]

[@rosefierro1632]
