Sinigang is one of my favorite
Filipino dishes with variety of ingredients. It is typically sour and is often cooked with stewed fish, shrimp or meat. It is usually prepared with tamarinds or artificial flavorings such as sinigang mix. The usual vegetables needed for this dish are okra, spinach, radish, and string beans, etc. Some use guava as it is less sour than those with tamarind, while i saw some uses mangga - the green one.
Ingredients:
500 g shrimp
3 lapu-lapu fish heads
1 big onion diced
1 big tomato quartered
2 pcs. long green pepper
