Sinigang, a Filipino comfort food, can be made with beef, pork or fish. It is a perfect dish during a nice cold weather. Tart and sour, it is always served with rice.
The preparation and vegetables used for beef and pork are just the same. However, the Fish Sinigang is prepared differently.
The broth is flavored with either the juice of unripe Sampalok (Tamarind fruit), Guava, Santol or Kamias (Averrhoa Bilimbi).
The usual vegetables for this dish are taro root, string beans, radish, and water spinach.
