Mama Sita's Sinigang Sa Sampalok Mix (Tamarind Seasoning Mix) 50g

Mama Sita's Sinigang Sa Sampalok tamarind mix

Mama Sita's Sinigang Sa Sampalok Mix is a 50g tamarind seasoning for Filipino soup. The existing listing describes the naturally tart flavour of tamarind and a distinctly fruity soup base. Tamarind powder is listed at 20.24% of the ingredients, with tomato powder, rice flour, black pepper and other seasonings also named. It is intended to give a dish a tamarind led character, rather than being a finished bowl of soup. This is the product named in the title, not a noodle stir fry seasoning.

The listing identifies the Philippines as the country of origin and describes sinigang as a popular one dish soup. If you are shopping for the ingredients around that idea, browse our Filipino groceries collection. For other choices when planning a warming bowl, see the soups collection. The packet is a single retail item, while the vegetables, seafood, meat or fish you might cook with it are separate ingredients. Starting with the name on the pouch is especially helpful here because one line in the old page belongs to a different Mama Sita's product.

Make a tamarind soup with your chosen ingredients

The recipe on the existing listing suggests boiling water with tomatoes and onions, adding the Sinigang Sa Sampalok Mix, and then simmering vegetables before adding prawns. It names radish, long green beans, green pepper and leafy vegetables among the possible additions. Prawns are one recipe example, not an ingredient in the dry seasoning list. The page also suggests choosing meat, shrimp or fish with vegetables for a tamarind soup. Follow the actual packet directions for the quantity of mix and water, and cook any seafood or meat thoroughly before serving.

There is one misleading preparation line on the old page that says to dissolve Pansit Bihon rice noodle stir fry mix. That instruction refers to a different product and should not be used for this tamarind soup seasoning. Taste your soup as you cook and be mindful of any additional salt or fish sauce, since salt is already present in the mix. If you are looking for other flavourings to keep in the cupboard, explore the seasoning and ingredients collection. Our spices collection is another place to browse while planning future meals. The old listing says to store the packet in a cool, dry place.

Shop Filipino sinigang seasoning at Asian Grocery UK

Asian Grocery UK lists the product by its Filipino dish name and by the English description, tamarind seasoning mix. That makes it easier to find whether your shopping list says sinigang or tamarind soup. You could browse the rice collection for another staple to have on the table, while keeping this mix specifically for soup. The pouch is a seasoning base, so the finished dish will reflect what you add and how you prepare it. It does not contain the prawns, vegetables or fish sauce described in the older recipe.

The current listing's nutrition panel is per 100g of dry mix, not per prepared serving, and it lists a substantial salt value. The allergen note says to see ingredients in bold, but the ingredient line on the page is not bold. Check the physical packet for current ingredient and allergen details before cooking for anyone with dietary restrictions. The old recipe calls the seasoning Hot in places, while the product title does not identify a heat variant; this rewrite does not assume that the packet supplied is the Hot version. Read the actual label for the version, directions and best before date on the item you receive.
