Who doesn’t love Sinigang? It’s among our favorite traditional Filipino soup dishes characterized by its sour and savory taste that is warm and comforting. But when I first had Sinigang sa Miso at the now-defunct branch of Josephine Restaurant that was located at Roxas Boulevard, ooh la la! I just couldn’t get enough of it! The traditional sinigang soup with the addition of miso paste is just heavenly! You now have a Tamarind Miso Soup that is Filipino-based! This is how we make ours at home. Sometimes, we use Milkfish (Bangus), or Salmon belly slices. But this time it’s Yellow Fin Tuna since it’s what we have at the moment that we’re craving for this dish. Enjoy!
