Sinigang na Baka (Spareribs)

Sinigang na Baka (Spareribs). Sinigang one of most well-liked Filipino way of cooking meat, fish and seafood. Tamarind fruit or sampalok is the most used paasim, but actually there are many fruits that are used, bayabas, kamias or even santol.

I like to use gabi or taro root on my meat sinigang, it gives a texture and whitish color to the broth. I also use a lot of vegetables.

Cooking procedure:

Cut beef spareribs into serving pieces, wash thoroughly. Put in a large pot, cover with enough water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until beef spareribs are tender. Take out all scum that rises to the surface. Add gabi (taro root), and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until gabi are tender and start to disintegrate.
