Sinigang Recipe Variants

Sinigang, we all know, is Filipino soup dish with a very distinct sour taste… It would always be sinigang.. any Sunday is made special by this soup dish.. and any gloomy day can be brighten with a bowl of steaming hot sinigang..

I remember when I was a child, I used to make a list of different kinds of sinigang.. ranging from the type of meat used to the kind of fruit used to make it sour. I am very used to cooking sinigang as it is, boiling/cooking all the ingredients together. Then I married someone who’s roots came from Pampanga.. and I learned how to cook Sinigang by sauteing it.

Sinigang na Baboy sa Sampalok

Sinigang na Hipon sa Sampalok

Sinigang na Baboy sa Pakwan

If you are not familiar, here are some variants of our favorite Sinigang:

  • Sinigang sa Sampalok – this is the most famous and most used
  • Sinigang sa Kalamansi – often used in Seafood, specially in Shrimp
  • Sinigang sa Kamias- used in Milk fish
  • Sinigang sa Bayabas- often used in Beef and Pork
  • Sinigang sa Santol
  • Sinigang sa Pakwan
  • Sinigang sa Strawberry
Sinigang sa Miso is another variant but it simply used Sampalok and added Miso for some flavor
In terms of the type of meat used, we have the different kinds of sinigang:
  • Sinigang na Baboy
  • Sinigang na Baka
  • Sinigang na Isda
  • Sinigang na Hipon
  • Sinigang na Gabi (yes meron nito!)
Sinigang na Manok or Sinampalukang Manok to some is another type but this one does not use tomato unlike the other sinigangs.
My favorite would always be Sinigang na Baboy sa Sampalok and Sinigang na Bangus sa Bayabas.. but my kids would always go for Sinigang na Hipon sa Sampalok.. while my younger sister would go for Singang na Baboy sa Pakwan.. I still have to try Sinigang sa Strawberry and Sinigang na Lechon one of these days.. but with the many types of Sinigang, I bet it would take a while before I tried it.

I know most of you have tasted more than 3 kinds of Sinigangs, would you like to share what are your favorites?

  3. My for-the-wins are sinigang na baboy, hipon and fish! But then, those are the only ones I’ve tried I think, hehehe. The others sound interesting! Ang sarap pakinggan!

      • yeah sinigang sa miso…lalo na ung ulo ng maya-maya fish…di lang masarap, malinam-nam-nam-nam-nam (kantahin ba?)..kidding aside, malinamnam nga talaga and healthy pa, high in omega-3-fatty acids dahil sa taba ng fish…

        sayang di ako naka-join..hehehe

  4. I love sinigang and tried almost all faces of your sinigang except for that “miso” since am not into fish thingy.

    My partner loves my sinigang na hipon so much and so do I 🙂

    Here are my version of sinigang 🙂

  6. Eto yung favorite kong sinigang:

    – “Sinigang na baboy” without the sampalok. We don’t include sampalok in all sinigang dahil sa asim nito. Nang dumating ako ng Manila, dito ko nalasahan ang sarap asim ng sampalok.

    – “Sinigang na Isda” (Tuna fish) Kailangan fresh para masarap at manamis namis ang soup, without Sampalok pa rin 😀

    Pag usapang ganito, nakakagutom, mommy! 😀

  10. Meron in ako lootbag. At tuwang tuwa talaga ako sa laman kasi I’m a fan of ready made mixes.

    I like sinigang sa bayabas kaya lang nababahuan si hubby.

    My mother cooks sinigang using santol as pampaasim. Sarap!

  11. May sinigang sa pakwan pala! I love sinigang lalo na with pork or shrimp. Weird ng labeling ko, I call it sinigang na baboy (sinigang sa gabi), sinigang sa hipon (sinigang sa kamatis), sinampalukang manok is just that, sinigang sa bayabas (fish). Beef short ribs is always with gabi rin. Ang sarap, kakagutom!

  12. Oh my sininang! I read it somewhere in your old post about Sinigang sa Pakwan and got puzzled how it is being cooked and how it tastes like.
    I am a sinigang monster, a lover of all sinigang mix!

  13. Pork sinigang is definitely my fave especially if the soup is thickened because of the gabi!

    I am allergic to shrimps, but I like that type of sinigang too.. 😛 Oh and sinigang na bangus (milk fish) is awesome too! 😀

    My daughter, Chakai, loves sinigang, no matter what type of meat used.. 😛

    I’ve never had sinigang sa pakwan and sinigang sa strawberry but like you, I am curious about the latter as well.. 😛

  14. My family loves Sinigang na Baboy sa Sampalok but my favorite is Sinigang na Baka or Hipon and my hubby Sinigang sa Bayabas naman.
    Haaay kakagutom naman kakagising ko lang.

    • Sinigang na Baboy sa Sampalok is a mainstay here.. but like you the kids really like sinigang sa hipon… we haven’t tried sinigang na baka yet.. I can’t cook it hehe

  20. I like to try the one with pakwan and the strawberry. I can imagine the tangy sourness of the soup. Though am not so much fun with sinigang (i love the plainer version – the tinola) yet i would enjoy sipping the soup.

  27. Hi sis pehpot, I want to add sinigang using unripe mango, sa mga lolo ko sa bulacan ko nalaman yan at kat apung pepang ko. Sa kapampangan, simple lng ang sinigang, hindi ginigisa at iba version ayon sa meat na gagamitin mo. Walang kamatis at sibuyas kasi may version ang sinigang sa kamatis or kinamatisan. Ang paborito ko is sinigang na liempo at sinigang na tilapia, its either kamias or sampalok yan. Pero nakatikim ka na ba ng sinigang na sardinas at tuyong taba?

  30. sinigang sa strawberry and sinigang sa pakwan? sound weird? ngayon ko lang narinig to..hehehe…
