I enjoy eating pork sinigang. This sinigang recipe is almost similar to the regular sinigang na baboy, except that using lechon makes the dish more flavorful.

sinigang na lechon

It is not everyday that we get to keep lechon leftovers. These were the leftovers that we had for Christmas dinner. Making sinigang out of it (rather than the usual paksiw na lechon) is a good idea. Try this when you get a chance and see for yourself.

How to Cook Sinigang na Lechon

Unlike my other versions of sinigang, I start cooking this dish by sautéing the meat in oil and onion. It helps enhance the flavor of the lechon. Make sure to add just a bit of oil. We don’t want our soup to be oily.

The meat is boiled for a good 20 minutes. The duration is quicker compared to cooking raw meat because the lechon is already fully cooked. The meat should also be tender already. We are only boiling it to extract flavor.

I find sinigang mixes very convenient. It also provides the right amount of sourness that I like in my soup. “Knorr Sinigang sa Sampaloc” recipe mix is my trusted brand ever since I started cooking this dish. Let’s keep my age a secret, so don’t ask how long have I been making sinigang, Ok?

Simply add the sinigang mix after boiling the lechon and then add tomato and long green peppers afterwards. Cook for around 8 minutes before adding all the vegetable. This means putting-in the okra, snake beans (sitaw), and eggplant all together.

Season with ground pepper. Use either white or black pepper. Season with patis. Finish your sinigang by adding the kangkong last. This goes well with rice. I enjoy this with a saucer of patis and crushed siling labuyo.
