Deliciously sour and umami Sinigang sa Kamias at Miso: you’ll love to have it every day!
As children, we had at least one experience of munching uber-sour kamias picked from the neighbor’s tree. Kamias is actually one of the go-to sour ingredients for making sinigang, while Miso is known for its distinguishably savory flavor. Japanese call that specific taste, “umami”.
We tried combining these two soup bases together—and honestly, the game has never been the same. The soup is full-bodied yet refreshing. The tangy/salty/savory tastes perfectly blend with the meaty flavor of bangus belly cuts. Try it now!
