Fish And Tamarind Soup Food

FILIPINO SINIGANG (TAMARIND SOUP)

Steps:

• Saute ribs garlic onions and salt to taste until brown.
• In Separate large pot add water Sinigang tamarind soup packet (found in international food section) to taste I like the whole packet but less is more in this case if it is to sour for you.
• Remember you can eat this with rice.
• Then add the tomato and the pork, cook on medium heat for about 40 min and then add the potatoes cook for another 10 min and then add the Daikon Radish and the Bok choy cook about 10 more min.
• It is good if the meat easily comes away from the bone.
• You can eat this straight or over rice or both.

BARRAMUNDI FISH IN TAMARIND BROTH (SINIGANG NA ISDA)

Steps:

• In a large pot, mash and dissolve the tamarind paste in 1 cup of hot water. Add the onion, fish sauce and water (or fish/vegetable stock). Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer, and stir periodically, mashing the tamarind paste as it cooks. Let it simmer for about 12 minutes. Strain and return the tamarind broth and onion slices to the pot.
• Bring the broth to a boil again over medium high heat, then add the tomatoes, radishes, and fish. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque. As the fish cooks, add the bok choy towards the end, and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce if necessary. Divide the fish, vegetables and broth in serving bowls and garnish with chili slices if desired. Serve with rice.

TAMARIND SOUP WITH SEAFOOD

Steps:

• In a two quart stock pot (we used our Zebra Indian Pan) add the seafood, sliced green onion, sliced yellow onion, black pepper, Thai chilli pepper, and about 6 cups of water. Heat over medium high heat, adding fish sauce to taste, and tamarind. You can drop in the tamarind whole then clean out the seed husk later (as we did, there's not much) or remove the bits of seed husk before putting it into the soup. Cook this for about 10 minutes. At the end, add a handful of mixed green vegetables. We used green onion and pea vine but cilantro or whatever you may have works great. Enjoy! Serve with freshly steamed jasmine rice.

FISH WITH TAMARIND SAUCE

Steps:

• Place tamarind in a medium bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak for 15 minutes; mash tamarind. Strain through a sieve, pressing on solids and scraping the bottom of the sieve to remove pulp. Discard the seeds and set strained liquid aside.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in tomato, sugar, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and reserved tamarind liquid. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened. Add more water if sauce becomes too dry. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and season with salt and pepper; keep sauce warm.

SALMON SINIGANG: TAMARIND STEW WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare and marinate salmon fillet : Marinate with calamansi or lemon juice. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for about 20-25 minutes till ready to add to broth. (Note: do not marinate longer than 25 to 30 minutes or fish will cook in the citrus juice).
• In a large stockpot, over medium high heat, combine the water or rice wash ('hugas bigas'), vegetable broth, lemon or calamansi juice, onions, tomatoes and tamarind concentrate. Bring this mixture to a boil then lower heat to a slow simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Add the salmon and patis (fish sauce). The salmon will turn from bright orange to a light pale color which means it is cooked. This should take about 12 minutes.
• Add the spinach, eggplants and cook for 5 minutes more. Season with salt and black pepper powder. Serve piping hot with boiled white rice and a dipping sauce of 'patis' (fish sauce) on the side.
• Cook's comments: other vegetables may be added to this Sinigang like sitaw (long green beans), radish, gabi (taro), kangkong (water spinach). Feel free to use a white fillet of fish for this if preferred. Add more soup stock or water if needed. And if you want a zing to the dish, add 1 or 2 bird's eye chilies or what Filipinos call 'siling labuyo' and boil it with the sinigang broth.
