Ingredients

  • about 450 g Pork belly
  • 8 cups Water
  • 2 tbsp Tamarind paste
  • 1 cup Radishes
  • 1 cup Green beans
  • 2 cups Spinach
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 tbsp Fish sauce

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place 8 cups of water in a large heavy-bottomed pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat, about 5-7 minutes. The water should be bubbling vigorously.
  2. 2Carefully add the about 450 g of pork belly to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes, or until the pork belly is tender when pierced with a fork. The liquid should be gently bubbling.
  3. 3Add the 1 medium onion, cut into quarters, to the pot with the pork belly. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 15 minutes, or until the onion is soft.
  4. 4Stir in the 2 tbsp of tamarind paste until it dissolves into the broth. Add the 1 cup of radishes, cut into 1.27 cm thick rounds, and the 1 cup of green beans, trimmed and cut into 5.08 cm pieces. Increase the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the radishes are slightly tender and the green beans are bright green and crisp-tender. The broth should be gently bubbling.
  5. 5Add the 2 cups of spinach and the 2 tbsp of fish sauce to the pot. Stir gently until the spinach is just wilted, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Do not overcook the spinach.
  6. 6Serve the Keto Sinigang hot immediately.
