Sinanglaw is a rustic Filipino beef soup from Vigan that combines beef, tendons and tripe in a clear broth infused with kamias (or tamarind) and a hint of bile. The result is a perfectly balanced soup – predominantly sour with subtle bitterness, hearty yet refined, and deeply satisfying. Traditionally served as pulutan (beer pairing) or hangover cure, this centuries-old recipe transforms humble ingredients into something extraordinary through patient cooking and balanced flavors.

Ingredients

  • 500 g beef brisket or any cheap cut (cubed into 2-inch pieces)
  • 300 g beef tendons (cut into squares)
  • 300 g pre-cooked beef tripe (cubed)
  • 1/4 cup diluted beef bile or 2-3 pieces bitter gourd (roughly chopped)
  • 500 g kamias or tamarind
  • 1 whole garlic bulb (minced)
  • 1 thumb-sized ginger (thinly sliced)
  • 2 large onions (quartered)
  • 6 finger chilies (thinly sliced)
  • Fish sauce or sea salt to taste
  • Spinach leaves (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
