I promised to post about a recipe I normally cook for the family. And here we go. Most of the time, I am really having a hard time thinking of what meals/recipes I am going to prepare for everyday. I think this is every mum's struggle? Agree?
Yesterday I was enjoying watching Mukbang videos which is a local Mukbang vlog here in the Philippines. And that's when I saw this Mukbang vlog episode by foodiebee vlogger. Check them out on fb. The episode is all about pork ribs sinigang. It was mouth watering. A great mukbang episode.

Who doesn't like sinigang?
Sinigang is a Filipino soup or stew with sour and savory taste. It's made of either pork, fish, chicken or beef, vegetables like eggplant, water spinach, radish, okra, string beans etc. To make the soup sour you may use tamarind, kamias or belimbing, kalamansi lemon juice extract, mango or just the ready sinigang mix pack or tamarind soup base mix.
This recipe is one of my favorite comfort food. It's jampacked with vegetables and normally I prefer to use pork ribs and belly because its flavorful, savory and tasty plus the collagen from pork ribs or bones. 😅
Is it already winter season where you at right now? Or is it rainy and cold most of time? Do you always have the worst hangover from too much drinking!? Do you feel sick and tired? Then you have to try this recipe. One hundred percent guaranteed fresh, tasty, nutritious and flavorful. This is a simple go to recipe you may want to add in your cookbook list.
When I was younger I thought that there's only one way of cooking sinigang. I thought wrong. When I started working and living on my own, that's when I learned so many different life hacks, recipes and things from people and experiences. And then I learned that the best way to cook this recipe is by sautéing pork with garlic, onions, ginger and tomatoes first. The traditional way of cooking this recipe is just pouring water into a cooking pot and directly boiling the meat with all the veggies and seasonings needed like salt pepper and tamarind.
This is how I cook my special sinigang recipe.
