Sinigang is a tangy Filipino soup made by simmering chicken and vegetables in a sour tamarind-based broth. Its refreshing tartness and generous vegetables make it a popular everyday meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the chicken

25 min

Put the chicken thighs, water, tomatoes, and onion in a pot. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 25 minutes.

2

Add the souring ingredient

3 min

Stir in the tamarind and fish sauce. Taste and adjust the sourness.

3

Add the vegetables

10 min

Add the eggplant and zucchini. Cook over medium heat for 10 more minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

4

Add the greens

2 min

Add the spinach and cook for 2 more minutes. Adjust the salt. Do not overcook the greens, or they will lose their color and texture.

5

Serve

Serve hot with white rice.

Reminder

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The vegetables soften further by the next day, so reheat the soup gently over low heat.
