Preparation Steps

1

In a pot, combine the pork cubes and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the pork is tender. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface.

2

Add the sinigang sa sampalok mix, onion, and tomatoes to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

3

Add the daikon radish, sitaw, and eggplant. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

4

Add the kangkong and siling haba. Cook for just 1-2 minutes, until the kangkong is wilted.

5

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

6

Serve hot, with a side of cooked brown rice.
