Preparation Steps

1

In a pot, combine pork cubes and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1-1.5 hours, or until pork is tender. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface.

2

Add the quartered onion and tomatoes to the pot. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

3

Stir in the tamarind paste and fish sauce. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.

4

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

5

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the kangkong leaves and cook for just 1-2 minutes until wilted.

6

While the sinigang is simmering, prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

7

Add the riced cauliflower to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender and lightly toasted.

8

Serve the Sinigang na Baboy hot, with a generous portion of cauliflower rice on the side.

Managing Blood Sugar

"For a spicier kick, add a few siling haba (long green chilies) along with the other vegetables. Ensure the pork is lean to reduce saturated fat content. Adjust tamarind paste to your preferred level of sourness."
