Preparation Steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Stir in the bok choy and long green chilies. Cook for 2-3 minutes more, until the bok choy is wilted.

5

Season the sinigang with salt and black pepper to taste. Add fish sauce if desired.

6

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."

Ideal for stabilizing after-meal spikes
