Savory and tart, this Filipino sinigang recipe is filled with leafy green vegetables and tender pork belly in a rich tamarind broth! Famous for its sour taste, this pork sinigang recipe will be your new favorite soup with rice!
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork belly diced in large cubes
- 1 bunch string beans cut 3-4 inches in length
- 12 ounces broccoli florets
- 5 cups spinach
- 1 Chinese okra diced
- 1 onion diced
- 1 large tomato diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- juice from ½ a lemon
- 1 Knorr Tamarind Soup Mix Packet
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 7 cups water
- 1 habanero (optional) diced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the pork belly, onion, tomato, garlic, and water. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the pork belly starts to become tender.
- Add the Knorr Tamarind Soup Mix Packet and mix. Toss in the broccoli, string beans, okra, and habanero (if using). Cover over medium heat for 15 minutes.
- Add the spinach, juice from ½ a lemon, fish sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another two minutes until the spinach has cooked. Add additional water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Enjoy!
Notes
- I used 5 cups of spinach in this Filipino sinigang recipe. Instead of measuring 5 cups, I took five handfuls as the spinach will shrink when cooked. Refer to Sam’s Pro Tips for this Filipino Sinigang Recipe with Pork Belly for additional time saving tips.
- If you would like to add even more flavor, you can do a half and half mixture of beer broth and water. However, I really don’t think you will need it as the soup will have all the flavor you need from the vegetables and soup mix.
