Sinigang is a sour and savory Filipino soup made with meat or seafood (pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, or fish) and flavored with tamarind, tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables you have on hand.
Jaguar Pascual started cooking in 2023 at the age of three. Jodel Pascual says his son wanted to learn how to cook rice, and Jaguar’s interest in cooking took off from there. In this video, Jaguar shows us how to make sinigang na hipon which translates to “sour soup with shrimp.”
Ingredients: (substitutions can be made depending on what meats and vegetables you have)
4 small tomatoes – cut in fourths
3 small red onions – cut in half
½ lb shrimp or 6-7 pcs
½ packet sinigang powder
1 big radish – sliced
5 pcs of okra – whole, trimmed
1 bundle of kangkong – stems removed (spinach can be substituted)
2 finger peppers or Spanish peppers (your favorite hot peppers can be substituted or omitted)
1 liter of water
