Soup is on the menu- what are you waiting for? We will be sharing below a few Filipino comfort foods that are perfect to make your day special.
Pork Sinigang
One of the most famous dishes in Filipino cuisine is pork sinigang. It's a comfort food that has buttery spare ribs and belly paired with an earthy, tangy broth made from tomatoes as well as string beans or okra for added texture.
You can also find eggplant thrown into this rich flavor packed soup - which gives it even more depth! This is best paired with cooked rice. Pork sinigang is a comfort food that's been around for centuries. If you are craving to have one today, Fresh Options meat choices is just a click away.
Sinigang is a traditional Filipino soup that is known for its sour flavor. The broth is typically made sour by using unripe tamarind, which is also known as sampaloc in the Philippines.
Other fruits such as guava, tomato, bilimbi or kamias, green mango, pineapple, and wild mangosteen or santol can also be used to give the soup its signature sour taste. The other key ingredient in sinigang is the protein, which is usually pork, but beef, shrimp, and fish are also commonly used.
The quality of this dish depends on the balance of flavors between the souring agent and the protein. When cooked correctly, sinigang is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a rainy day or any day.
Ingredients
- Tamarind paste or store-bought instant sampaloc flavoring mix
- Fresh Options 500 grams of Pork Kasim and/or Pork Sinigang Cut
- Onion
- Fish Sauce
- Tomato
- Kang Kong
- Sigarilyas
- Eggplant
- Okra
- String Beans
- Radish
- Green Chili
Cooking Directions
Over medium heat, add vegetable oil in a big pot and start to sear your meat in batches until every side gets a nice golden brown crust. Every set should be for 2-5 minutes each. While searing, don't crowd the meat and transfer it onto a clean plate.
Put two cups of water to deglaze the pot thoroughly. Have the searing meat's golden-brown parts gently scraped from the bottom of the pan.
Then add the tomatoes. After, add two tablespoons of salt then stir to dissolve. Add six or more cups of water to submerge the meat thoroughly. Bring up the heat to medium-high until the liquid boils. Let it boil for around 30 seconds.
Make it simmer at medium to low heat for 45 minutes to an hour or until the meat becomes tender enough for your preferences. Stir in fish sauce and the tamarind paste.
Add in the rest of the vegetables. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Cook kangkong for 1 minute. Adjust everything to taste. Serve immediately with rice. Enjoy!

When cooking the chicken, be sure to simmer it until the meat is cooked through and tender. This will help to create a richer flavor for the soup. Afterwich, shred the chicken once cooked and cooled.
Sautéing is involved. Sauté garlic, onion, celery, and carrot in oil. They flavor chicken soup. Add chicken and hotdogs. Hotdogs are optional.
Pour chicken-boiling water. Because it's chicken-flavored, you'll have an advantage. Add chicken cube for more chicken flavor.
Next step is to cook the pasta of your choice based on the packet instructions. Add the pasta to the bowl that has the chicken then add in the milk or cream, carrots, and cabbage. Add fish sauce and pepper to taste . For the noodles, feel free to use your favorite type, whether it's spaghetti, macaroni, or even rice noodles. The key to making this dish extra creamy is to use full-fat milk and cream.
If you're looking for a bit of spice, add in some chopped green chilies or jalapeños. Serve with a side of bread for dipping or with a hot cup of freshly cooked rice and enjoy!
This recipe should be able to help you cook delicious sopas that you can serve to the entire family.
Bulalo (Beef Shank Stew)
Bulalo is a type of Filipino stew made with beef shank and marrow bones. The soup is simmered for a long period of time to allow the beef to become tender and the soup to become rich and flavorful.
Bulalo is typically served with rice, but it can also be enjoyed on its own. The dish is perfect for chilly weather, as it is warm and filling. Bulalo is also a healthy option, as it is packed with protein and nutrients. While the dish may seem simple, it is actually quite complex and takes time and patience to prepare. But the end result is always worth the wait!
Ingredients
- 1 Kg Bone Marrow
- 500g Beef Shank
- cabbage
- pechay
- peppercorn
- green onions
- onion
- beef bouillon
- fish sauce to taste
Cooking Directions
In a large pot, boil about a liter of water. Once boiling, add the beef shank, onion, and peppercorn. In a pot, simmer the meat for 1 1/2 hours. A pressure cooker only needs 30 minutes. Tenderize meat.
Add in your corn to the soup then simmer the bulalo for 10 minutes. Add cabbage, pechay, and green onion after 10 minutes (or onion leeks). Optionally, add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce to adjust the taste to your liking.
You are ready to eat your bulalo once your vegetables are thoroughly cooked. It's best served hot and shared with family and friends. It's an amazing, unforgettable lunch with a steaming cup of rice to pour your soup over!
