VEGETARIAN SINIGANG (FILIPINO TAMARIND OR SOUR SOUP)
So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines but this recipe came out of trial and error. The soup is pretty sour cooked to "full strength" but can make a pretty nice fast meal with rice.

Steps:
- Chop all vegetables. If you use chayote, just cut it in half from where the dip is. It's similar to a mango with the shape of the pit being flat, but the pit is soft unlike in a mango so there's no need to cut around it. Remove the pit/seed from the two halves. Dice, peeling is not necessary.
- A note about the tamarind soup mix: If you're vegetarian or sensitive to MSG check the ingredients on the packet. I think they all have MSG, and most have pork, fish or beef in them. I found tamarind broth cubes (listed as tamarind powder b/c Zaar doesn't recognize it) which have less of those things in them which is great, but the best is if you can find real tamarind. I have found both of these in Asian grocery stores in the US, though you can occasionally find them in the ethnic foods isle of a grocery store. If you're using tamarind remove the hard outer shell. The insides feel and sometimes smell like the insides of raisins or prunes. If the tamarind tastes sweet it's not going to give you the right flavor for the soup, but can still be close with kalamansi or lemon juice added. It should be a sour taste. Soak the tamarind pulp, seeds and all, in 1 cup of warm water. Mash this with a fork to remove most of the tamarind from the seeds. Fish out the seeds and the membranes and reserve the liquid to add after potatoes are cooked.
- Cook potatoes in water with a touch of salt for about 10 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
- Add remaining veggies and seasoning and cook 10-15 minutes more, or until veggies are cooked to desired consistency.
- Taste broth and adjust water and tamarind seasoning and salt to your liking. Keep in mind that if you're serving this with rice, as I always do, you probably want more intense flavors and a more stew like consistency.
- I typically double this recipe since it keeps well in the refrigerator and it gets eaten quite quickly even with just me and my husband. It is important to cook the potatoes before you cook the other veggies because the acid from the tomatoes and the tamarind mix prevent the potatoes from ever cooking through if you add them straight away. The quantities are still an approximation as I've never measured, so if you make this I'd love if you gave me feedback about your input on amounts of water, what seasoning you used etc.
SINIGANG (TAMARIND BROTH WITH PORK AND VEGETABLES)
This is the soup that made me like vegetables when I was growing up. You always measure sinigang by sourness, which is so much a part of our cuisine - layers of acid coming from vinegar, fresh citrus, tamarind and unripe fruits. Here, sour is a power move, hitting you all the way at the back of your tongue. Whole serrano chiles bring a low-frequency spicy hum, adding not so much heat as depth. The daikon should be left in big, juicy chunks, so when you bite into them, you get an unexpected touch of coolness in the hot broth.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook until toasted, 1 minute. Add the pork, season with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tamarind, onion, fish sauce, serrano chiles and 10 cups water, and bring to a boil over high.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium, cover and simmer until the pork is softened but not fully tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Stir in the daikon, cover and continue to simmer until daikon is tender and the pork is yielding, about 30 minutes.
- Uncover and discard the chiles. Add the long beans, eggplant, tomatoes and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon juice. Serve over rice.
PORK, VEGETABLE, AND TAMARIND STEW
The finished stew should be decidedly sour, tamarind's calling card, but you're in control of how puckery things get. You can sub other vegetables or simplify the array, but be very careful not to overcook them. This recipe is from Bad Saint, one of Bon Appétit's Hot 10, America's Best New Restaurants 2016.

Steps:
- Place bay leaves and peppercorns in center of cheesecloth and tie closed with kitchen twine; set sachet aside. Grind mushrooms in spice mill to a powder.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high. Cook onion, garlic, and chiles, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until partly broken down and very saucy, about 5 minutes. Add ribs, mushroom powder, reserved sachet, and 12 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Place tamarind pulp in a small medium-mesh sieve and partially submerge into simmering liquid (it will soften and start to dissolve as time goes by). Cook ribs, skimming foam from the surface, until very tender (meat should be practically falling off the bone for ribs and shred easily for pork shoulder), 2-2 1/2 hours. Season with salt and push tamarind pulp through sieve with a rubber spatula, tasting as you go, until desired level of sourness is reached. Discard any remaining tamarind.
- Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook bok choy, eggplant, radishes, beans, and okra, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp. fish sauce and toss to coat. Divide vegetables, ribs, and broth among bowls; serve drizzled with more fish sauce, if desired.
- Do Ahead
- Ribs can be cooked 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

- In a medium sized bowl, combine 1 cup of water with the tamarind paste. Mash well to hydrate the tamarind pulp and try to squeeze as much pulp out as possible. Strain the mixture and squeeze the seeds well. Reserve the strained mixture for the soup, discard the seedy pulp.
- In a large pot, combine tamarind paste, water (or vegetable broth if you're not using mushroom broth powder), mushroom broth powder, onion, tomatoes, daikon, and eddo. Bring to a boil, then lower to a steady simmer and cover, cooking for 20 minutes or until the eddo is nearly tender, stirring occasionally.
- Then add the roasted soy bites, okra, long beans, and baby bok choy and make sure everything is submerged in the broth. Bring up the heat to a medium, and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the long beans are tender, okra is soft (be careful not to break the okra in the soup or it'll thicken the soup) and the roasted soy bites have absorbed the flavour. Check that the eddos are fork-tender (like you would for a potato). Add the two green chillies into the broth and stir in, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to bring out the aromatic fragrance of the chilli. As long as you don't break the chillis, the soup won't be spicy (but feel free to smash them a bit if you want some heat). Add kosher salt if you find you need more seasoning.
