Gluten-Free Sinigang with Shrimp and Tamarind

Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp
• 1 bunch Water spinach (kangkong)
• 2 medium Eggplant
• 1 cup Green beans
• 1 packet Tamarind soup base (gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Tomato
• 8 cups Water

Instructions

1. 1In a large 8-quart pot, combine the 8 cups of water and the 1 medium onion, cut into quarters. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, 212°F (100°C). Add the 2 medium tomatoes, cut into quarters. Reduce heat to medium-low, 300°F (150°C), and simmer for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
2. 2Stir in the 1 packet of gluten-free tamarind soup base and the 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Continue to stir until the soup base is completely dissolved into the broth.
3. 3Add the 2 medium eggplants, cut into 1-inch thick rounds, and the 1 cup of green beans to the pot. Increase heat to high, 450°F (232°C), and cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. 4Add the 1 lb of shrimp and the 1 bunch of water spinach to the pot. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and are cooked through. The internal temperature of the shrimp should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. 5Serve the gluten-free sinigang with shrimp and tamarind hot.
