2 medium-sized bangus (milkfish), cleaned and cut into serving pieces
10 cups water
1 large onion, quartered
2 medium tomatoes, quartered
1 medium radish, peeled and sliced
1 medium eggplant, sliced
1 bunch kangkong (water spinach), ends trimmed
1 medium taro root (gabi), peeled and cubed (optional)
2 tablespoons tamarind soup base or sinigang mix
Salt or fish sauce (patis) to taste
In a large pot, bring water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the onions and tomatoes to the pot. Let them simmer for a few minutes until they start to soften.
Add the bangus (milkfish) pieces to the pot and let them cook for about 5 minutes or until they are partially cooked. This will prevent the fish from falling apart later on.
Add the radish and taro root (if using) to the pot. Let them cook for about 5 minutes or until they start to become tender.
Stir in the tamarind soup base or sinigang mix. Adjust the amount according to your preferred level of sourness.
Add salt or fish sauce (patis) to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Add the eggplant and kangkong (water spinach) to the pot. Let them cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are cooked but still retain their vibrant color and crispness.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Remove the pot from heat and serve the Sinigang na Bangus hot with steamed rice.
