Nice, I’ve never heard of it, was this a homemade recipe? I was wondering what the difference is between this soup and a Tom Yum soup other than yours being Filipino and the Tom Yum being Thai. Is it spicy?

You got it spot on! It is similar to Tom Yum but sinigang is mainly just prawns, pork or fish, whereas I think Tom Yum has prawn and mussels and other seafood stuff (don’t quote me on this, I’m not Thai). Yeah my mom usually makes it homemade as opposed to using a ready made mix, you could make it spicy just a tiny bit if you want it’s up to you!

Nice! Tom Yum Goong is the shrimp one, Tom Yum Gai uses chicken, Tom Yum Pla is made with fish, Tom Yum Hed is a vegetarian option, made with mushrooms (hed), and there is a creamy version Tom Yum Nam Khon using coconut milk or some use evaporated milk.

I’m going to look into this recipe, if I can find a good one, unless you can share/steal your mom’s

Yummm. Looks like Vietnamese canh chua

The shrimp… how can I saw… bursting with turds

Oh my goodness! That’s my favorite (okay, one of my faves)!

Wait for me, I’m on my way!

I’ve always wondered: how exactly do you eat shrimp from a soup? Like, are you supposed to fish them out and peel them?

Answered your own question don’t knock it though, thats the most tastiest parts, might not like this but I like to eat the meaty bit of the head too lol but that’s just me.

Too late, all gone

Never heard of it unfortunately I guess it’s similar

Love how there’s different varieties of each of the same food, makes the world go round ️

I don’t know how she makes it, but I can for certain tell you, add more tomatoes, as tomatoes can add more to the sourness of it and if you can, add lemon juice, fresh or bottled, to add more sourness, but it’s all down to your preference to be honest
