Comfort food. It was so good, though I changed quite a bit. I used veggie burgers instead of meat with spinach , green beans and cauliflower. I also used soy sauce, tamarind paste and nutritional yeast instead of tamarind soup mix. Thanks a ton!

Outstanding Recipe! My husband is Filipino and he really enjoyed this dish. His only suggestions were to use beef WITH bones and to water the soup down a little more (2 qts of water as opposed to 1 qt). Dinner was a hit! Thank you.

Masarap! The soup had a great flavor. I didn't use exactly the same vegetables (cabbage and kale instead of bok choy and green beans), but then the sinigang is versatile with vegetables. Made it with a side of rice... Yum! :).

This tasted very good, but I think I didn't sear or prepare the pork quite properly. I would make it again however. It was a wonderful way to enjoy vegetables.

Yum! When it said to cook the beef for 20-30 mins, I did that in a pressure cooker. That made the meat very tender. I substituted the broccoli with spinach. The sinigang soup packet I used also had taro powder in the mix which adds a slightly thicker consistency. After adding all the vegetables, to the broth, it almost filled my pressure cooker. I’ll be freezing the left overs!

Awesome! My mom who is Filipina said she loved it and that it was better than she remembered having back home. My step dad, who isn't Filipino, loved it just as much and had 2 huge helpings. I doubled the amount of green beans, used 4 large roma tomatoes, used 1 lb lean pork and 1 lb shrimp instead of beef and doubled the tamarind. The kind of Filipino food we usually eat isn't really that healthy...By adding extra veggies and switching to lean meats, I was able to cut calories and fat, while still giving my mom a traditional dish that she loved. Thanks!

This recipe was awesome...I just replaced the broccoli with daikon(Japanese radish) and sliced them about 1/8 of an inch thick. The daikon doesn't add any flavor to the already good soup, it just taste really good in it.

I skip the oil as well. Also, if you want to give it more of a kick, I recommend jalepenos instead of red pepper. To make it thicker, add gabi or even a handful of mashed potato mix.

I tried the recipe, it was good but it needs a little more souring. Anyway, if you want to make it spicy, add green na sili, also I'd suggest gabi to make it a little thicker. The vegetables my mom added were kangkong, gabi, tomatoes and sometimes, eggplant.

Aside from the fact it's given me RAGING heartburn, I quite enjoyed this. I loved the tangy soup base, but I would, however, experiment with the rest a bit - I wasn't that keen on the beans and broc. I like the idea of potatoes, and maybe chicken. Thanks!

My boyfriend is filippino and he LOVES this recipe!! He wanted it with a little more spice and so I added crushed red pepper at the beginning. It worked GREAT! He asks me to make it at least once a week!! We both love this recipe!!

My husband is Filippino and this is one of the MOST DELICIOUS traditional meals he has ever made for me! Some things he does differently: We use pork instead of beef. You can also use shrimp. We leave the oil out (healthier that way) and cook in this order - Combine water, onions, and tomato. Bring to a boil for about 5 minutes. Then add tamarind soup base, pork, and green beans. Cook for one hour. Add bok choy, cover, and reduce heat for about 10 minutes and serve over rice. An entree'? we do not need one! We love this too much to mess it up with anything on the side! We sometimes also add radishes. Sounds disgusting, but it's REALLY great!

My mother is from the Philippines and while her sinigang is similar, she used beef, large diced potatoes and turnips, mustard greens, and shrimp. And no sinigang meal was ever complete without the salty fried pork chops and pot of white rice.

This was great and easy. I've been trying to cook Filipino food and this was a simple recipe. I didn't use all the vegetables and I used other vegetables in replacement. I will definitely cook this again.
