Sinigang na Baboy sa Bayabas (Guava Pork Sinigang)
"A diabetic-friendly twist on the classic Filipino Sinigang, using guava for a natural, low-glycemic souring agent and lean pork for protein. This dish is packed with vegetables and offers a unique, comforting flavor profile."
Preparation Steps
In a large pot, combine the pork cubes and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then skim off any scum that rises to the surface.
Add the guava quarters, onion quarters, and tomato quarters to the pot. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
Once the pork is tender, add the string beans and daikon radish. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir in the bok choy and long green chilies. Cook for 2-3 minutes more, until the bok choy is wilted.
Season the sinigang with salt and black pepper to taste. Add fish sauce if desired.
Serve hot, ideally with a small portion of brown rice or cauliflower rice.

Managing Blood Sugar
"Using unripe guava is key for a natural, low-sugar sourness. Ensure the pork is lean to keep fat content down. You can substitute the pork with chicken breast or tofu for a lighter option. Adjust the vegetables based on what's in season and your preference."
