Sinigang

You can make this with pork or shrimp.  I prefer pork.  If making this dish with shrimp, I would add it with the string beans so you don't over cook the shrimp.  Also keep the shells on the shrimp, it adds to the flavor.
Ingredients
1 pkg. sinigang mix
1 lb. pork, cut in 1 1/2 inches chunks
4 C. water
1 small onion, quartered
1 tomatoes; sliced
1 radish, sliced (optional)
2 string beans, cut in 2” length
1/2 cup kangkong leaves (river spinach)
3 pieces gabi (taro); peeled and cut in half
1 long green pepper
Salt to taste
Patis (fish sauce)

Directions
1.  In a medium sized pot, add water and meat.  Boil until tender.
2.  Reduce to a simmer and add onion, tomato, and tamarind mix.  Cook for about 15 minutes.
3.  Add gabi until tender and thicken the soup.
4.  Add string beans, cook until tender. 
5.  Add kangkong leaves.
6.  Season with salt to taste.
7.  Serve with patis on the side and over steamed white rice.
