Pinoy Recipe Sinigang na Bangus: How To Cook Sinigang na Bangus sa Miso

Among the many pinoy fish soup recipes, sinigang is my most favorite. And when we talk of sinigang, for me, nothing beats bangus (milkfish) as the main ingredient. The unique rich taste of the bangus blends very well with the tamarind in sinigang. There are many kinds of fish sinigang. We have the "sinigang sa sampalok (tamarind), sinigang sa bayabas (guava young leaves), sinigang sa mangga (mango) and the so-called sinigang sa miso (soybean paste). Actually, we can also make sinigang using pork, chicken and beef.
