    Pork Sinigang is another favorite and a very popular Philippine dish much like the Adobo Chicken and Pancit Noodles. If you want comfort food, this Sinigang recipe is it! It's hearty enough to be a meal because the soup is made with country pork ribs and lots of vegetables. Talk about the "stick to your ribs" kind of dish!

    The Sinigang Broth really makes this dish with its complex flavor because it's sweet, savory, and sour all packed into this very flavorful and tasty dish. The flavor comes from a fruit called Tamarind or "sampalok" in Tagalog.

    The Story

    This recipe is a favorite among my nieces, especially Lauressa (pictured below) with her mom, Dina.

    Dina, my late sister-in-law, passed at a very young age due to uterine cancer. God rest her soul. I miss her every day. Each time I visited them in FL, she would always ask me to make her Sinigang, which is her favorite Philippine dish. She would call it "Senegal." And during one of our final moments together, she told me to write a recipe book. So here you go. I love you Dina, I know you're smiling. I know you approve. 🥰

      This is literally the BEST soup I've ever eaten in the world! It's such a savory treat and you just know you're enjoying something that is really, really, really good for you. It's a very hearty soup that has meat and vegetables like rutabaga which you wouldn't normally eat, but MAN all the ingredients in this soup and with the heat of the pepper, WOW they all really go so well together. It's a very satisfying comfort food for sure!
