Pork Sinigang

The usual favorite dish among Filipinos where the pork is cooked / stewed in tamarind soup along with vegetables - tomatoes, string beans, eggplants, water spinach, okra and radish. If you want a thicker soup, you can include gabi (taro) in your vegetables. I use long green pepper to add some spice to the soup and a powdered soup base, the brand name Knorr Sinigang Tamarind Soup Base Mix.

Ingredients:
1 pc. red tomato, quartered
1 pc. red onion, peeled and quartered
1 pc. medium radish, peeled and sliced diagonally
2 pcs. long green pepper
1 pouch Knorr Sinigang Soup Base Mix
2 pcs. eggplant, sliced quarterly
5 pcs. okra, cut into 2-inch length
3/4 kilo pork, cut into chunks (good for stewing)
2-3 pcs. small gabi (taro root), peeled and sliced into half (optional)
1 bundle of kangkong (water spinach), cut into 2-inch length
5-8 pcs string beans, cut into 2-inch length
8 cups water

Procedures:
1. In a cooking pot, combine water, a little bit of salt and pork. Bring to a boil until pork becomes tender.
2. Add onions, tomatoes, radish, eggplant, gabi and Knorr Sinigang Soup Base Mix. Let them boil for 7 minutes. 
3. Add in the okra, string beans, long green pepper and kangkong stalk. Cook for a few minutes until their color turns to bright green. 
4. Lastly, add the kangkong leaves into the boiling soup and cook until the leaves wilt.
