Instructions
Pork
- The day before serving this dish, in a pot boil enough water to blanch the pork belly, once water is boiling add the pork and let it continuously boil for 5 minutes.
- Drain liquid and rinse the pork and the pot of any scum, place back pork in the pot together with onions, chilli and tomato fill with enough water just to cover the meat. Add the sinigang mix then bring to a boil then simmer for 1 hour or until pork is tender. Season soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Remove pork from the pot, reserve the stock then rinse in cold running water, let it cool. For best results refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- For the day it will be served, prepare a wok filled with oil, heat to 180C the deep fry cooked cold pork until crispy, remove from wok then set it aside.
Rice
- The day before serving this dish, rinse rice in running cold water.
- Place rice in a rice cooker together with 3 cups of saved broth from cooking the pork. Let the rice cooker do its magic and cook the rice.
- Once rice is cooked, fluff it and let it cool.
- Once cooled down, refrigerate without cover overnight.
- For the day it will be served, prepare a wok, add oil then sauté the garlic.
- Fluff the rice again then add it into the wok, stir fry for 5 minutes.
- Add the sinigang mix then stir fry for 3 more minutes. Remove from wok then set it aside.
Vegetables
- In a big mixing bowl add ice cubes and place a smaller bowl on top.
- Mix all batter ingredients except for the oil and vegetables, mix lightly just enough to make the flour moist, do not over mix.
- Heat oil to 180C in a wok or deep fryer.
- Now dip a piece vegetable at a time in the cold batter into the wok. Cooking 3 items at a time and give a good drizzle of the cold batter on top, this will give volume and more texture to the item that is cooked. Cook for no more than 1 minute or until it is light brown in colour.
- Scoop out everything in the wok, place in a towel lined plate then cook the remaining ingredients.
Bringing together
- Place fried rice in a bowl, top it with crispy fried pork and tempura vegetables, garnish with tomatoes then serve.
- Note:
- This is best when prepared a day ahead, refrigerating both rice and pork.
Well since I am not familiar with either dish I don’t see the confusion and I just think it looks delicious. But saying Sinigang na Sinangag, that is impossible for me. It’s like a tongue twister, no?
Your preparation looks long and complicated and I’m sure it tasted good. Because of my biased opinion of Kanin Club (I had food poisoning there), my guess is that their Sinigang na Sinangag is probably unsold Sinigang from the day before that they recycled. They probably drained the pork from the broth. Used the broth to cook the rice. The pork is then fried separately. I have to say, though, that in either case, it’s quite creative.

I can totally understand you. And like most of us believe home cooking is always better and youre sure what really goes into your food.
Pork looks gorgeous!
