Pork Sinigang
Sinigang, a Filipino soup featuring pork as its main ingredient, is traditionally served alongside rice. For an extra burst of flavor, consider enhancing it with soy or fish sauce. If you'd like to take it a step further, you can incorporate "gabi gabi," a small taro root known for its resemblance to potatoes. Peel and add five to six of these when you introduce the water, ensuring they cook thoroughly. Remember to remove them once they reach the desired level of doneness, as they can become overly soft if left in the soup for too long.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, chopped.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, chopped

- 4 cups water, more if needed.
- 1 (1.41 ounce) package tamarind soup base (such as Knorr®)

Instructions
