Description
Mama Sita’s Sinigang Sa Sampalok – Tamarind Seasoning Mix (1.76 oz) is the Filipino pantry shortcut for sinigang, the sour tamarind soup that is a cornerstone of Filipino home cooking. The sachet carries the tart, fruity sourness of tamarind in a convenient powder, so you can build a bright, savoury sour broth in minutes instead of extracting tamarind pulp by hand.

How to cook / Cach nau
Simmer your protein – pork ribs, beef, shrimp or fish – in water with onion and tomato until tender. Stir in the tamarind mix, taste and adjust, then add the vegetables in order of cooking time: radish and taro first, then long beans, okra, eggplant, and finally leafy greens such as kangkong or mustard leaves. Serve very hot with steamed rice and a small dish of fish sauce and chilli on the side. The mix works equally well in a Vietnamese-style canh chua with pineapple, tomato, okra and bac ha.
Storage / Bao quan
Store the sachet in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and steam. If any powder is left over, fold and clip the sachet closed or transfer it to a small airtight container so it does not clump.
