To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook pork rib sinigang using 15 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Pork Rib Sinigang:
- Make ready 1 1/2 kg Pork Ribs
- Make ready 1 bunch Kangkong Leaves (river spinach, water spinach, swamp cabbage)
- Prepare 1 large Labanos (radish)
- Get 5 piece Gabi (taro root)
- Take 5 piece Okra (lady's fingers or gumbo)
- Make ready 6 piece Tomato
- Get 2 piece Red Onion (Bermuda Onion)
- Prepare Salt
- Get Patis (fish sauce)
- Make ready Option 1 Tamarind Stock (Instant)
- Take 1 envelope Knorr Sinigang Mix (44 grams)
- Get 3 cup Hot Water
- Make ready Option 2 Tamarind Stock (Natural)
- Prepare 8 large Tamarind
- Prepare 2 cup Water
Steps to make Pork Rib Sinigang:
- OPTION 1 TAMARIND STOCK: If using the instant tamarind stock, dissolve half of the packet of Knorr Sinigang Mix into 3 cups of hot water. Set aside.
- OPTION 2 TAMARIND STOCK: If using the natural tamarind stock, you would have to prepare it before starting with the main dish. Wash thoroughly and then boil the large tamarinds in 2 cups of water over medium heat until very tender. Make sure to cover the pot to avoid the water from evaporating; and when it does, just add half cups at a time. Once tender, remove the tamarind from the pot and set aside for awhile. Get a large metal strainer and put it over the pot where you boiled the tamarind. Put the tamarind on the strainer and squeeze the juice into the pot. Do not worry about the shells as they would easily break with the pressure applied during squeezing. Once the tamarind juice is thoroughly extracted, discard the shell and seeds from the strainer. Set aside the tamarind stock. It would be best for you to prepare extra stock so you can use it to enhance flavor if you wish to increase the amount of soup.
- PREPARATION 1: Slice the meaty parts of the pork ribs into cubes and leave the bony parts the way they are.
- PREPARATION 2: Wash and detach the kangkong leaves from the stalk. You may slice the soft parts off the stalk but make sure to leave out the hard parts.
- PREPARATION 3: Wash, peel and slice the labanos crosswise to make flat round pieces. Wash and slice the okra crosswise to make cylindrical pieces.
- PREPARATION 4: Wash, peel and slice the gabi into large cubes.
- PREPARATION 5: Slice the tomatoes into quarters or eighths, whichever suits you for sauteing; and dice the onions.
- Saute the pork in tomatoes and onions. Allow the surface of the pork to cook, constantly mixing until the tomatoes are soft and the onion is clear.
- Add the tamarind stock into the sauteed pork. Mix thoroughly and cover. Allow the pork to cook completely until tender.
- Add the gabi, labanos and okra. Cook until the gabi and okra are tender and the labanos is clear. To prevent the stock from drying up, add half cups of water at a time.
- Enhance the flavor through adding the left-over sinigang mix or extra tamarind stock. Balance the flavor out using salt or patis. The natural taste of the soup is flavorfully sour, so it is best to add the remaining sinigang mix or tamarind stock gradually for you to capture what suits your taste well.
- Finally, pitch in the kangkong leaves and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes in low fire. Do not overcook the kangkong by putting it in the soup longer. Remember that it cooks some more even after putting the pot out of the fire.
- Enjoy the dish with steamed rice; and this dish could also be nicely paired up with "lechon kawali" (deep fried pork belly).
Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we have to stay away from them. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be totally healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. A number of foods honestly do raise your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at beating back depression. Just make sure that you do not throw away the egg yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for raising your mood. This is because these vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Eat an egg and jolly up!
Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all helpful for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you want to fight depression. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all high in omega-3s and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly raise your mood.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you consume grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are terrific at helping you be happier. They help you feel full as well which can actually help to improve your mood. It’s not hard to feel low when you feel famished! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. You digest them more quickly than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were just anticipating to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time making the rest of your body more relaxed. You already knew green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you are aware that it can help improve your mood as well!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try these tips instead!
