Pork Sinigang

Perfect for a rainy or cold day! This is a Filipino dish called Pork Sinigang which is a sour pork soup. :)

Ingredients:
Pork ribs
Chopped onions, garlic
Eggplant sliced
Green beans (sitaw)
Tomatoes quartered
Kangkong or spinach
Sliced radish
Sinigang na Sampaloc mix (available in Filipino or Asian food markets or groceries)
Green chili (optional)

Directions

1. Saute chopped onions and garlic in medium heat
2. When they have begun to caramelize, put in the pork ribs and leave until sides have browned and blood has begun to ooze out
3. Add a cup of water; not enough to cover all the ribs and simmer for 2o minutes
4. Mix in half of Sinigang na Samaploc mix, simmer again for 20 more minutes
5. Fill in water, enough to cover ribs and boil in medium heat for about 1.5 hour until pork is soft and cooked thoroughly.
6. Mix in what is left of the Sinigang na Sampaloc mix. Keep adding if you feel it is not sour enough for you. (I sometimes use 2 packets for 2.5+ lbs of meat)
7. Lower heat, add in all the vegetables and leave to simmer for 10-20 minutes, until vegetables are softer. The longer you leave it in, the soggier it will be, so if you like your veggies a still a little crisp, simmer only 5-10 minutes.
8. Slice open the green chili to give your Sinigang a little kick, if you like.
9. Mix in low heat for about 5 more minutes.
10. Serve with a cup of rice. Enjoy! :)
