WATCH: How to Make Sinigang sa Pakwan
This sinigang is subtly sweet because of watermelons.
Â
Â
Sinigang is a well-loved Filipino soupy dish with distinct sour and savory flavors. Most people like the tang and the sourness of this soup but if you want to take a break from your usual pork sinigang, try this version made with watermelons. The fruit gives it subtle sweet flavors while the veggies give this hearty dish texture. You can always add in store-bought sinigang powder mix to enhance the sour flavors.Â
