Filipino Sinigang na Baboy (Sour Soup Pork) Recipe
Sinigang is a Filipino dish famous for the variety of ingredients one can use as well as for its taste. Though considered a soup, it is not eaten as is, but rather combined as a viand with rice. Sinigang is typically sour and is most often likened to Thailand’s tom yam. Sinigang’s characteristic taste is attributed to the ingredient that gives its sour taste, not to the meat’s flavor.

Guide in Preparing a Delicious Native Dinuguan (Blood Stew)
Ilocanos are very proud to have Dinuguan or pork blood stew in English as one of their dishes. It is a Filipino stew of blood and meat simmered in rich, spicy gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili, and vinegar. The term dinuguan comes from the word dugo meaning “blood”. It is recognizably thick and dark, hence the Westernized euphemism “chocolate meat.” It is similar to a Singapore dish, pig’s organ soup. The only difference is it does not have vegetables in it. For western cultures this dish is considered as unusual or maybe an alarming dish even though it is similar to European-style blood sausage or British black pudding, but in a saucy, stew form. This dish is so popular in the Philippines that everyone will find it at just about any occasion, from simple family gatherings to weddings.
