Sinigang na Bangus for the Rainy Season
Sinigang is a very popular Filipino soup with a savory and sour flavor. Tamarind is commonly used to flavor this soup, but sometimes other ingredients such as miso, guava, and mango are incorporated, as well. Bangus is the Filipino word for milkfish (known in Hawaiian as awa and in Tahitian as ava). This fish typically lives in tropical waters.
It is particularly nice to enjoy a hearty meal of sinigang na bangus during the rainy season.
