Sinigang na Buntot ng Baboy with Gabi

Sinigang na Buntot ng Baboy with Gabi is a version of __pork sinigang wherein pig tails are used. This is locally known in the Philippines as “buntot ng baboy”. It is a sour clear broth soup with vegetables and taro.

Pork Sinigang - Sinigang na Buntot ng Baboy

There are several ingredients that can be used to make the soup sour: young tamarind, bilimbi (kamias), guava, cotton fruit (santol), and Sinigang mix are a few examples. I like my soup extra sour because it makes me feel cooler for some reason and it makes the dish more delicious. I am using sinigang mix for this recipe because it gives me the perfect level of sourness that I want.

I also like sinigang better with taro (gabi) because it makes the soup thicker, so I added a few pieces in this recipe.  Regular veggies such as onion, string beans, and eggplant were used. You might have guessed that I was not able to find kangkong near my place. It is the reason why I used spinach. We all know that spinach has tons of health benefits.

Pork Sinigang (Pigtail Sinigang)

Most of you might have cooked sinigang and have your own way of preparing one. There is really no incorrect way of cooking this dish. However, let me emphasize that it will be best if the pigtails are cooked longer to make it extra tender. This makes it easier to eat and the process adds more __pork flavor to the entire dish.

Try this Sinigang na Buntot ng Baboy with Gabi Recipe. Enjoy!
