Instructions

  • In a medium-sized pot, add the pork neck bones and water. Once it starts to boil, remove scum that floats on top.
  • Add tomato and onion. Note: If using ripe guavas add that too.
  • Simmer and cook until meat is tender.
  • Puree tomato using kitchen utensil.
  • Stir in Sinigang sa Bayabas mix and fish sauce.
  • Add fish sauce, okra and thai chilli. Cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add napa and spinach.
  • Season with salt or more fish sauce. Serve hot.

Notes

  1. I prefer to use meaty neck bones. Bones add so much flavor to soup plus it is less fattier than pork belly.
  2. If fresh guavas are abundant in your area, definitely use that instead of powdered mix. Use overly ripe guavas.
  3. If using bones, strain the soup for more bones especially if you have kids and elders in your household.
  4. Store leftover in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
