Seafood Sinigang Recipe

In a small pot over medium heat, add half the water and sampaloc. Bring to a boil and simmer until sampaloc is tender, about 20 minutes. Using a potato masher, mash softened sampaloc. Strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Reserve liquid, and discard seeds and shells. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, and lightly sauté. Add tomatoes, labanos, and remaining water. Season with patis to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer until labanos is tender.

Add strained sampaloc stock and sili to the pot. Season with more patis to taste. Bring back to a boil then simmer. Add suahe and bangus, and simmer until cooked through. Stir in kangkong. Serve with steamed rice.
