SINIGANG (TAMARIND BROTH WITH PORK AND VEGETABLES)



Sinigang (Tamarind Broth With Pork and Vegetables) image

This is the soup that made me like vegetables when I was growing up. You always measure sinigang by sourness, which is so much a part of our cuisine - layers of acid coming from vinegar, fresh citrus, tamarind and unripe fruits. Here, sour is a power move, hitting you all the way at the back of your tongue. Whole serrano chiles bring a low-frequency spicy hum, adding not so much heat as depth. The daikon should be left in big, juicy chunks, so when you bite into them, you get an unexpected touch of coolness in the hot broth.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
12 whole garlic cloves, crushed
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, excess fat trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Vietnamese concentrated cooking tamarind ("nuoc me chua"), or 1 (14-ounce) block tamarind paste, liquefied (see Tip)
2 medium yellow onions, halved from tip to tip, then each half cubed into 4 quarters
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 whole serrano chiles
1 daikon (1 3/4 pounds), peeled and sliced into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 pound long beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 Japanese eggplant (about 5 ounces), sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 medium tomatoes, halved, then each half cubed into 4 quarters
10 ounces baby spinach (about 8 packed cups)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
Steamed jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook until toasted, 1 minute. Add the pork, season with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tamarind, onion, fish sauce, serrano chiles and 10 cups water, and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium, cover and simmer until the pork is softened but not fully tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Stir in the daikon, cover and continue to simmer until daikon is tender and the pork is yielding, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and discard the chiles. Add the long beans, eggplant, tomatoes and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the lemon juice. Serve over rice.

PORK SINIGANG



Pork Sinigang image

Filipino soup cooked with pork. Serve with rice and for additional sauce, use soy or fish sauce. If you want to, you can add what Filipinos call gabi gabi, which is a small taro root. When peeled they look like potatoes. You can add 5 to 6 of them when you add the water and make sure they are cooked through. Take them out when they are cooked because they can get too soft.
