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?

 

Happy Monday Everyone!

I always believe on starting the week right and that Mondays should be happy.. less stress, more positive energy.. and should be really productive. I’m just happy that I got to accomplish a lot of tasks today.. and yes the day hasn’t started yet for the kids.. I’m just really happy that I am almost halfway done to all my online obligations.. and happier that I got his for “breakfast” today.. uhmm that’s around 1:00 AM:

That’s hot pandesal, kesong puti (!) and coffee.. oh the last time I had kesong puti was during the Meralco Maliwanag ang Pasko launch and it felt so bitin.. and I don’t do an “eat all you can kesong puti” stunt on events no.. so when I saw one at Farmers Cubao, I just have to buy 3!

Good morning everyone! I hope your breakfast is as good and comforting as mine 🙂

Happy Monday!

P.S. I will sleep now 

Bumili ka nga ng Scotch-Brite

I cook, I do the laundry, I fold our clothes, I mop the floor, I clean the bathroom.. I scrub the walls.. I can do a,most every household chores, except for two.. Ironing, because it takes a lot of time and I cannot multitask while doing so and washing the dishes because it kills my hand. I don’t know.. there is something about the dish washing soap that makes my hand itch. So here, it is my sister, Nina’s task to wash the dishes. Lately though, she learned that she’s developing a housewife’s eczema.. not sure with the term but that’s how Mae of Adobong Pinoy describe it.. It’s an eczema brought about frequent hand washing, washing the dishes included. I have to help her with washing the dishes but as soon as I start doing so, my hands complain.. we have been planning to buy a gloves but even before we did, we got some from Scotch-Brite. They are one of our sponsors from the recently concluded PMC 2nd grand EB.

Let me tell you first how glad and overwhelmed I was, when we got Scotch-Brite as one of our sponsor. I mean, we all know about Scotch- Brite, in fact for a lot of people, it is a general term for cleaning tool such as sponge and stainless steel cleaner. I’m sure a lot of you can relate with this phrase “bumili ka ng scoth brite” (referring to the stainless steel cleaner). I know whatever item Scotch-Brite will give to the moms will be very helpful and useful. And indeed it was. Each moms who attended the event got a gift pack from Scotch-Brite that contains the following:

Scotch-Brite Kitchen Gloves, Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad, Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Bathroom Scrub Sponge, Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Antibacterial Scrub Sponge, Scotch-Brite Light Duty Scrub Sponge with fun designs.

I haven’t tried all the products yet.. but I already tried Scotch-Brite Kitchen Gloves, Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Bathroom Scrub Sponge and Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Antibacterial Scrub Sponge.

We’re using the Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Antibacterial Scrub Sponge in washing the dishes as well as the Kitchen Gloves. I tried Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Bathroom Scrub Sponge for the rubber mat that we used in their play area..and I’ll just let the photo do the talking:

that’s how I look on my cleaning gear 🙂

See the difference? and I’m not even putting much effort while scrubbing.. I still have to try this on our bathroom walls. I am also excited to try the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad on our wall.. oh well, let’s wait until the cleaning fairy waves her wand on me 🙂
