Sinigang na baboy is pork stewed in sour broth and is actually the original sinigang recipe before the many kinds of sinigang versions that was introduced. Some of the sinigang recipes includes sinigang na baka, sinigang na bangus, siningang na sugpo and many others.
Because of the popularity of sinigang, sinigang mix is introduced in the market and it makes our cooking simpler by just pouring the powder mix in cooking this dish. But nothing can beat the taste of the traditional fresh tamarind fruit that is boiled and mashed and extracting the tamarind juice.

This was very helpful! Im stuck at the house with my brother with the ingredients I found at the fridge..the instructions are simple so I tried this for the first time and the result was successful! there no sampaloc and gabi so I used Knorr Sinigang sa baboy with gabi.
i want to cook sinigang na baboy, because i miss filipino food and i live outside the country. that’s why i look in internet and i found this site, but the problem is there are some ingredients which is not available in this country . my question is how i can make it, we dont have here sampaloc and gabi…. how is it possible ?
Some folks use lemon but I doubt if the taste will be the same. If no tamarind or sampalok available in the country where you reside, I think the best substitute is mama sita’s sinigang sa sampalok.
Thanks for the information. My toothache has been bugging me lately, and by cooking sinigang i can soften up the rice and meat for easy chewing. thanks again for the help.

try taking the other veggies off the recipe. although it might not be a legitimate sinigang but an improvised one would also be good. just easy up on the MSG.
I was reading through your step’s in how to cook sinigang na baboy. It is an easy step although I am looking for somthing more simple than what you posted. I am only intro to cooking.
Hi Camille, I also use instant sinigang mix like Knorr or Mamasita but using fresh tamarind taste really good.
