This is my fourth post about sinigang because it’s a family favorite. I think I have one more left to post, which is the shrimp version. If you have been following my posts, I already shared versions for pork, corned beef, and fish. This fourth installment is made with beef, usually brisket or ribs.

Sinigang na Baka is nearly similar to other Southeast Asian dishes such as Thailand’s “tom yam,” Indonesia’s “sayur asem,” Vietnam’s “canh chua,” and Malaysia’s “singgang.” I guess they share the same origin since most of them traditionally use tamarind as the souring agent. Unfortunately, I am still unsure of its exact origins, as I haven’t found any reliable references. If anyone knows, please let me know, as I am keen to learn more about the history of this wonderful dish.

If you love the dishes mentioned above or enjoy sour soups, this is a must-try. Trust me, you will get addicted to it.
