PORK SINIGANG

Filipino soup cooked with pork. Serve with rice and for additional sauce, use soy or fish sauce. If you want to, you can add what Filipinos call gabi gabi, which is a small taro root. When peeled they look like potatoes. You can add 5 to 6 of them when you add the water and make sure they are cooked through. Take them out when they are cooked because they can get too soft.

SINIGANG (TAMARIND BROTH WITH PORK AND VEGETABLES)



Sinigang (Tamarind Broth With Pork and Vegetables) image

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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
12 whole garlic cloves, crushed
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, excess fat trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Vietnamese concentrated cooking tamarind ("nuoc me chua"), or 1 (14-ounce) block tamarind paste, liquefied (see Tip)
2 medium yellow onions, halved from tip to tip, then each half cubed into 4 quarters
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 whole serrano chiles
1 daikon (1 3/4 pounds), peeled and sliced into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 pound long beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 Japanese eggplant (about 5 ounces), sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 medium tomatoes, halved, then each half cubed into 4 quarters
10 ounces baby spinach (about 8 packed cups)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
Steamed jasmine rice, for serving

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 SINIGANG



Pork Sinigang image

This recipe, adapted from the chef Tom Cunanan of Bad Saint in Washington, D.C., really needs fresh white rice when you serve it. It serves as the plain, blank canvas for all the tartness of the tamarind and the richness of the ribs. At Filipino meals, it's quite common to have a variety of sawsawan - sauces and condiments on the table at mealtime. The idea is for everyone at the table to customize their dishes exactly to their liking.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds St. Louis-style pork ribs, separated and cut in half crosswise
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces dried shiitake mushroom caps
1 1/2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
5 dried bay leaves
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 large white onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 large Roma tomatoes, cut into eighths (about 3 cups)
1 long pepper or jalapeño, stemmed and halved
7 ounces tamarind pulp
2 Thai eggplant, quartered or 1 Baby Italian eggplant, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 pound small whole okra, stems trimmed without cutting into pod
1/4 pound Chinese long beans or green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 watermelon radishes or a 4-inch piece of daikon, sliced into 1/8-inch discs
3 tablespoons fish sauce

Steps:

  • Wash ribs and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Snap or pinch off any remaining stems of the dried shiitake mushroom caps and discard. Process mushroom caps to a fine powder in a food processor; you should have 1 1/2 cups of mushroom powder. Set aside.
  • Tie the peppercorns and bay leaves in a sachet made of loose cheesecloth and set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add oil and sauté the onion, garlic, tomatoes and long pepper. After the onions have softened and the tomatoes have started to release their juices, reduce heat to medium and stir in the mushroom powder and 1 cup water. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add pork ribs to the pot and stir to combine with aromatics. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add 9 cups water and the sachet containing the peppercorns and bay leaves.
  • Put tamarind pulp in a fine mesh sieve and submerge sieve in pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Once the pot has reached a boil, break up the tamarind pulp with a wooden spoon. It should have softened considerably. As you're breaking it up, take care to keep it contained in the sieve.
  • Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook ribs for about 60 to 75 minutes, or until the meat is soft and pulls easily off the bone. Meanwhile, keep the pot covered, removing cover only to skim foam off the top, as necessary, and to periodically stir the tamarind pulp in the sieve to help release its tartness. To increase the tartness of the broth even more, force pulp through the sieve with the back of a wooden spoon. Once broth has reached the desired level of tartness, remove the sieve from the pot and discard the tamarind solids. (Depending on the taste of the cook, the tamarind pulp may be removed well before the ribs are tender.) Season broth with salt to taste.
  • Add eggplant and okra; cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add long beans and radishes; cover and simmer for 3 more minutes. Check the seasoning of the broth and adjust, if necessary.
  • Turn off heat and discard the sachet. Ladle into bowls, and serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice. Put fish sauce in a small bowl on the table for people to add to their soup, as desired.
