If you are using fresh tamarind leaves – that would take care of the sour flavour for the sinampalukang manok recipe. If you are using the frozen tamarind leaves (which is more common and available at any Pilipino stores in North America) you will need to add sinigang mix for the sour flavour.

Sinampalukang manok has tamarind leaves for its vegetables. The leaves provide the sour flavor. No need for tamarind mix if you have enough sampalok leaves.

Hi Connie, I saw in another site a recipe for Sinampalukang manok. They used the Tamarind Mix. So then, what is the difference of the Chicken Sinigang to the Sinampalukang Manok, is it just the same? Thanks!

I shall have to try this recipe. I’ve never seen eggplant or garlic in sinigang before, so I’m eager to see what that will be like. I’ve made chicken sinigang once before, but pork (spare rib or otherwise) sinigang will always be my favorite. I may have a new favorite, though, after trying out this recipe.
