It is a soup that is sour in taste but is still well enjoyed and loved by the Filipinos. It can contain fish, other seafood, pork, and beef. This dish is often enjoyed with leafy vegetables in the soup, tomatoes, and a powerful taste of tamarind or sometimes, kamias.
‘Sinigang’ is a term meaning ‘stew’ which is how the dish is cooked. Because of the biting sourness this soup has, it is also fed to people who have a cold or a sore throat to help them heal from it quickly.
