Sinigang na Baboy sa Sampalok (Pork in Tamarind Broth) with Low-Carb Vegetables
"A classic Filipino sour and savory soup, reimagined with a focus on low-carb vegetables to make it diabetes-friendly. This version swaps traditional starchy vegetables for heart-healthy, low-glycemic options."
Preparation Steps
In a large pot, combine pork and water. Bring to a boil, then skim off any scum that rises to the surface.
Add onion and tomatoes to the pot. Simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
Stir in the tamarind paste. Make sure it's fully dissolved.
Add the radish and snake beans. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the cauliflower florets and bok choy. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the bok choy is wilted and cauliflower is tender.
If using, add the bird's eye chilies.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add fish sauce if desired.
Serve hot.
