Sinigang na Bangus - A Native and Traditional Food of the Philippines
When someone asks you about your most favorite food most of the time a single food always comes to our mind. If you ask me what is my most favorite food it would be "Sinigang na Bangus". "Sinigang na Bangus" is characterized by its sour taste. The sourness of "Sinigang na Bangus" is achieved by using ingredients with sour taste such as tamarind, santol (cotton fruit), alibangbang, kamias (bilimbi), green mango, batwan, bilukaw, ripe guava, calamansi, lemon, and many more. Aside from fish, pork, beef, shrimp, and chicken are also used in cooking sinigang.
Sinigang is native to the Philippines and is passed from generation to generation. In terms of bragging rights for the Philippines' national food, siningang is a frontrunner although there is no official national food named yet by the Philippine government. Sinigang is a very popular and beloved food in my country. You can't find a household in the Philippines that doesn't know about sinigang.
Since sinigang is native to the Philippines many innovations are introduced to sinigang like using Strawberries, Ube, and Pineapple in place of tamarind.
How to Cook Bangus na Sinigang sa Santol
Cooking Bangus na Sinigang sa Santol is quite simple, you prepare and wash all the ingredients and then the cooking will be done in just three steps. Yes, you read it right, just three steps... Below are the ingredients and the steps on how to cook Bangus na Sinigang sa Santol
- Bangus (Milk Fish)
- Santol (Cotton Fruit)
- Mustard Leaves
- Finger Pepper
- Tomatoes
- String Beans
- Onion
- Ginger
- Salt (to taste)
Wash and peel the cotton fruit then slice it into thick strips, do not include the seeds, the seed of a cotton fruit is sometimes sweet
Wash and slice the string beans into smaller strings
Wash the mustard leaves then remove their stems
Wash, peel, and slice the ginger
Peel and slice the onion
Wash and slice the tomatoes
Wash and slice the milk fish in a slightly slanted manner, wash the finger pepper
I said earlier that cooking this food only takes three steps, so here are the steps...
1. Put all the ingredients in a pot except for the Strings Beans and Mustard Leaves then add some water that slightly submerges all the ingredients. Add salt to taste immediately at this point then let it boil. Remove the suds or bubbles that will come out at first boil.
2. After you remove all the suds or bubbles let it boil for one to two minutes. After one to two minutes add the string beans and then let them boil again
3. When the string bean is about to be cooked add all the mustard leaves, make sure to submerge them into the soup so that they will be evenly cooked, when the mustard leaves are cooked turn off the heat and it is done...

Wow, nice! Hindi ko pa na try yang sinigang sa santol, pero mukhang masarap. Timely kasi in season ang santol ngayon, di ba?
Yes, as far as I know ay summer ang season ng santol. Try mo kabayan, natural na natural ang lasa ng sabaw kapag santol ang ginamit mo na pang-asim.
