Sinigang
is traditionally tamarind-based. Variations of the dish derive their sourness from ingredients such as guava, calamansi, bilimbi (balimbíng), or unripe mango.Seasoning powder or bouillon cubes with a tamarind base are commercial alternatives to using natural fruits. Meat in sinigang (e.g., fish, pork, beef, shrimp, or chicken) is often stewed with tamarinds, tomatoes, garlic, and onions. Other vegetables commonly used in the making of sinigang include okra, taro corms (gabi), daikon (labanós), water spinach (kangkóng), yardlong beans (sitaw) and eggplant (talóng). Most Filipinos like to cook sinigang with green long peppersin order to enhance the taste and add a little spice to the dish. Sinampalukang manók or sinampalukan (from sampalok) is technically not a variation of sinigang, as the chicken has to be sautéed in ginger first instead of all the ingredients being placed simultaneously into the pot and brought to a boil. Sinampalukan is also distinguished by its use of shredded tamarind leaves, and is usually made together with ginger, onions, tomatoes, eggplant and spinach.
