Sinigang

Method 5 steps

1. 1

   Cover the ribs with water, bring to the boil, skim and simmer for an hour with the onion and tomatoes.

2. 2

   Crush the softened tomatoes in the pot: they give the broth its body.

3. 3

   Add the tamarind paste and fish sauce, then taste. The sourness should be pronounced, not a hint.

4. 4

   Add the taro and daikon and cook ten minutes, then the aubergine and beans for five more.

5. 5

   Throw in the greens and chillies and take the pot off after thirty seconds. The greens should stay bright.
