Sinigang is often referred to as the Philippines’ national dish.
This soup dish can be made with different kinds of meat or seafood and with various kinds and generous amounts of vegetables. A particular variant, Sinigang na Sugpo, is my favorite. The colors and flavors are simply delightful!
The man that sells fresh seafood at the Salcedo Weekend Market has become my friend so I bought my ‘sugpo’ (it was more like ‘sugpito’, which is better as it is not tough as the mighty big prawns are).
I bought organic vegetables from the stall of Mara Pardo de Tavera, and I was good to go!
Ingredients :
1 liter water
1 white onion, sliced
4 tomatoes, sliced and seeds removed
About 12 to 15 prawns, trimmed and bearded
You just basically boil the water with the onions and tomatoes. You may season at this point. Add in the prawns and bring to the boil before adding the other vegetables.
Personally, this is what add to my sinigang:
Labanos (radish)
Yardlong Beans (sitao)
Winged Beans (sigarillas)
Eggplant (talong)
Swamp Cabbage (kangkong)
Chili Pepper (siling mahaba)
Fish sauce (patis), for seasoning.
In our house, we serve the Sinigang ala Cocido. The Broth, meat or seafood and vegetables are served individually.

Sinigang is one of my favorite dish that my mom usually cook for us. even if its pork,beef,fish or shrimp it all ends up with a happy family meal especially when we eat together and having “salo-salo” with the rest of the clan. so for me sinigang is the trademark cuisine of the filipino family next to adobo, and filipino cuisine is one of the reason we have as a filipino’s to have a close family ties relationship.

OMG! Sinigang! I love Sinigang! My partner makes a “killer” sinigang! I want that jaw breaking sourness…dipped in fish sauce…and siling mahaba!
Now here is an idea what I will have for lunch later!

Yummy… the best sauce for this dish, i think, is in the taste of the individual person. “fish sauce with calamansi” might be good some but “soy sauce with calamansi” might also be better to others. the saying goes, “what is delicious for pedro is not exactly delicious to juan”. for me, i use bagoong isda with calamansi juice which is more okay to my taste!
