Sinigang na baka

Sinigang takes its name from the Tagalog ‘sigang,’ which translates to ‘to stew.’ Sinigang is one of those obvious dishes that every cuisine has in which cheap, tough cuts of meat are cooked low and slow forever to yield the best shit in the world. The same premise is evident in French pot au feu, Italian brasato and British hot pot.

A probe singigang requires pork or beef on the bone and uses local vegetables, and a decent dose of chilli. Our recipe is adapted from a family kitchen in Zamboanga. The seasoning is ready-prepared from Knorr.
