Sinigang is a popular Filipino dish characterized by its sour flavor most often associated with tamarind (sampalok). Nowadays, different varieties of tamarind powder are readily available in the market.  I still prefer using fresh tamarind in cooking this dish, it gives the soup a more distinct taste.

You will need:

1 kilo pork

1 medium onion

3 tomatoes, slice

1/4 k fresh tamarind

gabi (taro), cut into cubes
