Keywords

💡Sinigang

Sinigang is a popular Filipino stew or soup dish that is sour in taste, traditionally made by boiling ingredients in a broth with tamarind as the main souring agent. In the context of the video, the 'Killer Sinigang' is a version of this dish with a unique preparation method that involves sauteing before boiling, which adds a distinct flavor profile to the dish.

💡Sauteing

Sauteing is a cooking technique where food is cooked quickly in a small amount of oil over high heat, allowing it to brown and develop a rich flavor. In the script, sauteing is used to prepare the onion, tomatoes, and pork belly, which is a deviation from the usual sinigang preparation and contributes to the 'Killer' aspect of the dish.

💡Pork Belly

Pork belly is a type of pork cut that comes from the belly of the pig, known for its rich flavor and marbling of fat. In the video, pork belly is used as the main protein in the sinigang, and it is sauteed to achieve a light brown color, which enhances the overall taste of the dish.

💡Fish Sauce

Fish sauce is a liquid condiment made from fermented fish, typically used in Southeast Asian cuisine to add a savory, umami flavor to dishes. In the script, a small amount of fish sauce is added during the cooking process and adjusted later to balance the sour taste of the sinigang.

💡Knorr Sinigang Mix

Knorr Sinigang Mix is a commercial product used to add a sour flavor to the sinigang broth. It is a convenient alternative to traditional tamarind and is used in the video to simplify the preparation process. The mix with 'gabi' (a type of taro) is specified, indicating a preference for a particular flavor profile.

💡Radish

Radish is a root vegetable that is often used in soups and stews for its crunchy texture and mild flavor. In the script, radish is added to the sinigang after the pork has boiled for 30 minutes, contributing to the dish's texture and helping to absorb the flavors of the broth.

💡Labanos Rangiri Style

Labanos, or radish, prepared in a 'rangiri style' refers to a specific way of cutting the radish into a roll cut, which is not a definite form but adds visual appeal to the dish. This cut is used in the video to enhance the presentation of the radish in the sinigang.

💡Eggplant

💡String Beans

String beans, also known as green beans, are a type of legume often used in various cuisines. In the video, they are cut into 2-inch pieces and added to the sinigang, providing a contrast in texture and a fresh, green flavor to the dish.

💡Shishito Pepper

Shishito pepper is a variety of pepper known for its mild sweetness rather than spiciness, making it suitable for those who prefer less heat in their food. In the script, shishito pepper is used in the sinigang to add a unique flavor without overpowering the dish's sourness.

💡Water Spinach

Water spinach is a leafy green vegetable that is tender and has a slightly slimy texture when cooked. In the video, water spinach is added towards the end of the cooking process and allowed to wilt in the residual heat, which helps to maintain its freshness and texture in the sinigang.

If you're ready and the ingredients are

also ready, let's go and join me in cooking.

When it comes to sinigang, we usually just boil the ingredients.

But for this version, we need to saute. That's

why I'm heating cooking oil in a cooking pot.

And while we're doing that, let's prepare the onion and tomatoes.

As for the onion, I'm just slicing it into wedges. We can use any color of onion.

And I'm also doing that for the tomatoes.

I'll saute the onion first until its layers separate.

And I'll also add the tomato.

Let's continue sauteing for a minute.

As for the pork, I'm using the pork belly.

I'm just slicing this into cubes.

I'll also add the pork belly in the cooking pot.

And I'll continue sauteing until the outer part of the pork becomes light brown.

Sauteing the pork belly with the onion and tomato gives extra flavor.

And that's the difference from the regular sinigang that's boiled right away.

I'll also add a bit of fish sauce.

Just a bit. We'll adjust this later towards the end of the cooking process.

I think the pork is good, I'll add the water now.

I'll cover the pot to boil this quickly.

And once the water boils, we'll add the sour ingredient.

Of course, it's automatic, Knorr sinigang mix right away.

And I'm using the one with gabi. I'm putting two 22g pack.

We'll add more later if needed. I'll just mix this,

And cover the pot.

And we need to boil the pork for 30 minutes first.

Just when it boils, we'll adjust the heat between low to medium.

And after 30 minutes, we'll add radish.

I'm cutting the labanos rangiri style or the roll cut-

it doesn't have a definite form.

And I'll also taste it first.

For us to know if it's lacking or we need to add more.

I think we need to add another 22g pack

for us to really taste enough asim kilig later.

I'll cover the cooking pot and I'll continue boiling

until the pork belly becomes tender. It would take 30 minutes, I guess.

And after 30 minutes, let's check the pork.

I'll just get a fork.

There, as you can see, it's tender already.

It's delicious.

Let's prepare the vegetables. For the eggplant, I'm just slicing it diagonally.

I'll add the eggplant first.

And while we're cooking the eggplant, we'll prepare the other ingredients.

For the string beans, I'm cutting it to 2 inch pieces.

I'll put it in the cooking pot, with the okra and shishito pepper.

The chili I'm using here is different from the chili

we usually use, this is called shishito pepper.

It's a bit sweet so if you're not fond of spicy foods, this is perfect.

You'll enjoy the taste of chili.

I'll mix this and continue cooking for 5 minutes.

And now, I'll add the remaining tomatoes and water spinach stalk.

Some of us wants the tomatoes to be whole so I'm putting some last.

I'm just putting it last.

I'll cover the pot and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.

At this point, I'll taste it to adjust it.

I'll just add fish sauce, only if needed.

It's important to taste your cooking.

And ground black pepper too.

I'll just mix this.

After that, I'll add the water spinach.

I'll just cover the pot.

And I'll turn off the heat. I'll let the residual heat to cook the water spinach.

Covering it for 2 minutes will be enough. After, I'll transfer it to a serving bowl.
