SINIGANG NA HIPON RECIPE

One of my favorite soup dish is Sinigang na Hipon. Sinigang na Hipon is a popular Filipino dish. The soup has a distinctive sour taste from the fruit tamarind (sampalok), tree cucumber (kamias/iba) or guava.  If those fruit are unavailable, you can buy a sinigang mix in the grocery. 

You will need:

1/2 kilo shrimp 

1 bunch water kangkong

1 cup string beans 

2 tomatoes

1 onion 

1 liter water

1 pack sinigang mix tamarind soup base mix
(you may use the fresh tamarind, kamias or guava)
2 pieces banana pepper

3 tbsp fish sauce

Steps:

Bring water to a boil then add tomatoes and onions until it becomes soft.

Put-in the sinigang mix and simmer for 2 minutes.

(You may use the fresh tamarind, kamias or guava.)

Add the banana pepper and string beans and simmer for 3 minutes.

Add the shrimps and fish sauce then simmer for 5 minutes.

Add kangkong, turn the heat off, 

and cover the pot. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Happy Cooking!
