Sinigang na Bangus is a traditional Filipino dish made with milkfish (bangus) cooked in a sour broth. The sourness of the broth comes from tamarind, calamansi, or other souring agents, and is balanced by vegetables such as taro (gabi), string beans (sitaw), water spinach (kangkong), and tomatoes. The dish is usually served hot with steamed rice and is popular throughout the Philippines. It is a comfort food for many Filipinos and is commonly served during rainy days or cold weather.
