Sinigang na Baka Recipe

When you think Filipino food, sinigang and nilaga are just two classics one can think of. So, can you just imagine if the two were put together into one delicious dish? That’s what you get when you cook sinigang na baka or beef sinigang. 

All the delicious flavors you would get in sinigang – the sourness of sampaloc, the fresh okra, kangkong, labanos, and tomatoes – is added to the heartiness of tender beef rib chunks that you’d normally get in a nilaga recipe. 

This recipe the Filipino ulam mashup you’re going to want to slurp and eat with a heaping bowl of freshly steamed rice!
