Sinigang sa Miso. Aside from Adobo being a very popular Filipino dish, Sinigang (Tamarind Soup) shares the spotlight. This dish is originally tamarind-based, but other versions may include using guava, calamansi or unripe mangoes to derive its sourness. Tamarind-based seasoning powders are also used as alternatives for natural fruits.
Meats used for Sinigang are usually pork, beef, fish, and shrimp. Vegetables commonly used for this dish are okra, taro, radish, water spinach, eggplants, and string beans. Sometimes, green finger peppers are added to enhance its flavor, while adding a touch of spice. Sinigang is best served when hot, and during cold weather.
With this version of Sinigang, We’ll be featuring fish as the main ingredient. We’ll be using Tilapia for this. A twist with this version is that it is incorporated with miso.
Sinigang sa Miso Recipe
Ingredients:
- About 6 cloves of garlic, crushed
- Fish Tilapia scaled and cleaned (or salmon fish, is good also)
- 1 whole white onion, minced
- 6 pcs. tomato, minced
- A bunch of mustard leaves, roots end removed
- 1 medium sized raddish, sliced thinly
- 2-3 pcs. of Chillies (siling haba)
- 1/4 cup miso or 1 sachet of instant Sinigang sa Miso mix
- 5-6 cups of water
- cooking oil
- Fish sauce (patis) to taste
Cooking Instructions:
- Heat oil in a pot. Saute garlic, onion, tomatoes. Add miso (if you are using Sinigang sa Miso mix, you can add this later when you put the water) and continue sauteeing until the vegetables and tomatoes are tender and miso starting to have oily surface.
- Add water and cover until it boils. Add the fish (if you use Sinigang sa Miso mix, now is the time to pour all the contents of the pack). Season with fish sauce (patis) to taste. Immediately add the vegetables and Chillie (Siling Haba). Let it boil for another 2 minutes. Do not overcook as the fish will tend to break and vegetables will wilt if overcooked. The heat of the soup will eventually cook the vegetables and fish.
