Salmon & Kang Kong in Tamarind Broth : Filipino Fish Sinigang > Savoury Sour Soup vs Tom Yum
If you like the tartness of Thai Tom Yum then you will like this dish. If you can't take the heat of Tom Yum then you will like this better! Lol. Filipino Sinigang can be made with prawns, pork, beef or fish.
Salmon is the only seafood I like in Sinigang. Other people prefer Milkfish, Tilapia or Shrimp. For salmon, you can use salmon steaks, the belly part (fave!), or even the head. In this cook, I used the head.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prep veggies
- 2
Sauté in a soup pan the onions, then garlic and ginger (it helps remove the fishy-slimy taste) until fragrant.
- 3
Sauté in the tomatoes until soft.
- 4
Add in the water and tamarind powder mix. I like it sour so I use the whole pack for 3-4 c of water (small, 22g. There is a bigger pack available) and I even add calamansi in the end (local lime version). Bring to a boil.
- 5
You can buy the Knorr brand from a Filipino store ('Sampaloc' means tamarind) or use any Asian tamarind mix without a lot of sugar in it (not the one used for desserts).
- 6
The veggies and the fish cook fairly quickly. Especially with the salmon, I don't want to overcook it so I place it in last, unless if frozen then add it first.
In a quick succession, add the veggies- hard stalks, beans, finger pepprs and radish first. Then the leafy veggies after a couple minutes.
- 7
Salt the salmon before putting it in (right after dropping in the Kang Kong). Ensure it's submerged, especially if cooking the head. Cover and bring to a light boil.
- 8
Lower heat when it boils. Taste and add 1 Tbsp fish sauce first...If you dont have this, use salt. Add more tamarind mix if it's not sour enough or use calamansi juice. Add more fish sauce according to your liking. Cook until the salmon meat changes color (not very long, depends on thickness, 5-6 mins).

Serve hot and spoon soup over rice. Enjoy!

Pork Ribs & Water Spinach in Tamarind Broth - Filipino Sinigang Pork Ribs & Water Spinach in Tamarind Broth - Filipino Sinigang
Very easy to make, just buy tamarind soup mix (see pic) in Asian/Filipino stores. But when I was a kid, I'd see my mom squeezing out the juice from real tamarind fruits just to make this dish. It was my favorite dish as a child.Choose pork cuts with bones, as this makes the broth richer.

Brad's Tom Yum soup Brad's Tom Yum soup
Tom yum is a Thai hot and sour soup. This may not be traditional, but it's the best I can do with the lack of availability of ingredients in my area. This came out about 2 star for the heat level, add more spice if you like it hotter. This turned out very good. There are some ingredient substitutions that I will cover in the directions section.

This is an ultimate favorite of mine. I remember eating this all the time but I can't remember if it was my mom or sisters that made it. There is a variety of ways to make this and can be as soupy as you want. This is really good with fresh shrimp too.
