Sinigang na Bangus at Hipon sa Sampalok

Sinigang na Bangus at Hipon sa Sampalok
Sinigang na Bangus at Hipon sa Sampalok. This sinigang recipe uses fresh green tamarind fruit as souring ingredients. The green tamarind fruits are parboiled separately to extract the fruit and separate it from the shell and seeds. Using fresh tamarind instead of the commercially sold tamarind sinigang mix is of course more tedious because of the extra cooking process.

Using fresh tamarind also result the absence of the seasoning and flavoring added to sinigang mixes. This is the reason why I added shrimps to improve the flavor. Otherwise using bangus alone will taste bland in terms of flavors especially for those who are used to sinigang mix on their sinigang dishes.


Ingredients:

1 medium size bangus, milkfish
1/2 kilo medium size shrimp
2 cup sampalok, green tamarind fruit
1 medium size onion, quartered
1 medium size tomato, quartered
1 small bundle kangkong, separate leaves and stalks
1 small bundle sitaw, string beans, cut into 2” length
2 pieces small size eggplant, sliced diagonally
1 small size labanos, radish, sliced diagonally
3-5 pcs. siling haba, green long chili
salt to taste
