hahah, i also love this recipe. I am a filipino and we usually do this dish.. It’s really delicious and mouth-watering. But I really never add sugar on this. But I do saute onions, tomatoes, and shrimp, then add the broth of the shrimp, add the sour powder, let it boil and add the vegetables. :)

This picture with the three prawns poking out of the bowl is perhaps the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I love prawns! I recently had my first exposure to Filipino cuisine and am excited to have found a recipe like this.

Interesting version of sinigang, I never tried sautéing and adding sugar to my sinigang.

the picture really looks sumptous..however, i agree with Lexa i have never heard of cooking sinigang with sugar in it. Also, oil is never an ingredient for sinigang. Everything is just boiled and not sauteed.

Sugar in sinigang? This is quite unheard of from our province.

Beautiful post! It’s so interesting; I think this soup has quite a few variations in South East Asia. The Vietnamese also have their own version (one that I’m familiar with) and it too makes use of tamarind, fish sauce and so on. The basis is also seafood -great with the lovely citrusy sour notes. How wonderful it is to see both striking similarities and personal touches amongst different cuisines.
