Sinigang na Hipon sa Kamias

Combine water, tomatoes, and onion in a nonreactive pot. Bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer.

Remove tomatoes and mash with a fork. Return to the pot. Add fish sauce, kamias, and siling pansigang. Bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Mash kamias in the pot and continue simmering. Add the rest of the vegetables and prawns. Simmer until prawns turn pink. Season with more fish sauce to taste.

Pan tip: Make sure to use a nonreactive pan since the acid may react with other types of cookware.

Veggie-cooking tip: Get the best-looking vegetables available and don't boil the stew for too long so the veggies don't get overcooked.
