HOW TO COOK PORK SINIGANG (SINIGANG NA BABOY SA SAMPALOK)

  How To Cook Pork Sinigang (Sinigang Na Baboy Sa Sampalok) –This is another version of the very famous traditional dish in the Philippines, the Sinigang na Baboy. I have posted my other version before and actually it was one of the first posts on my blog. But if you are going to find out what was the ingredient used for sourness of the dish, I used Calamansi and Tomatoes.

  In this version, we are going to use Sampalok or Tamarind. Many of us find it more appealing but if you are going to ask me, well, for me it depends on the amount you are going to use because Tamarind has a strong sourness so if you put more than it ought to be then you have ruined your Sinigang. There is a little problem when cooking this dish, because raw Tamarind is hard to find nowadays, but don’t be upset because there are numerous kinds of instant Tamarind powder that you can find in the supermarket. Be careful on the amount you put okay? Here is how to cook Pork Sinigang (Sinigang Na Baboy Sa Sampalok):
