From chopped liver with watercress to shrimp and grits with pork cheeks. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil to the pan.Here in America, I used a tamarind concentrate and added green mangoes and lemon slices to make the soup broth so tangy and sour, my face puckered up after tasting the soup stew. The souring agents come from backyard fruits and vegetables like tamarinds, kamias or guavas in the Philippines. Add diced squash and simmer until 1/2 - 3/4 cooked. Taste soup and add salt or pepper as needed. Simmer until tomatoes are reduced and pork is soft. When pork is almost fully cooked add sliced tomatoes. This is an all-season versatile dish that is best eaten with rice. Instructions: When pork is browned, cover pot, lower heat and allow to simmer to reduce pork juices. It is a mélange of meats, vegetables and even seafoods. Özet: Sinigang is the classic Philippine soup meal that is flavored with tamarinds making it tart, sour, savory and salty all at the same time.
