Pork sinigang is a Filipino soup dish that is known for its sour and savory flavor. It is often served with steamed white rice and is a great way to introduce people to Filipino food. It is simple to make and can be tailored to individual tastes by adding more or less of the ingredients. For example, some people like to add more tamarind or fish sauce to make it more sour, while others like to add more vegetables. It is also great for leftovers as the flavors develop even more the next day.
