Sinigang na Hipon Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Water
- 1 lb Shrimps (with skin and head), seasoned with a little salt
- 3 Plum Tomatoes, quartered
- 2 Onions, chopped
- 1 White Radish, sliced
- 2 mild Green Chile Peppers
- 6 Okra
- 1-1/2 cups freshly squeezed Tamarind juice or to taste*
- 2 Tablespoons Fish sauce or use Salt instead, to taste
- 1 (10 oz) pack fresh Spinach or 1-2 bunches of Kangkong
Cooking Procedure:
- In a large pan, bring the water to a simmer (almost boiling).
- Add the tomatoes, onions and sliced radishes and cook until the latter are tender-crisp (half-cooked).
- Add the green chili peppers, okra and tamarind juice and continue to cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and season with salt or fish sauce, to taste. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until shrimps are cooked and veggies are all tender. Check the seasoning at this point – add more souring agent, fish sauce or even water, if necessary – whatever your taste buds tell you!
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the Kangkong or spinach and then cover and let it wilt and cook for a couple of minutes. The steam from the hot soup should cook it quick. Ladle into bowls and enjoy immediately!
