Sinigang na Baboy is a classic Filipino dish known for its sour and savory flavors, primarily featuring pork (baboy) simmered in a tangy broth.

The dish includes a variety of vegetables such as water spinach (kangkong), Daikon radish (Labanos), eggplant (talong), and string beans (sitaw), making it a hearty and comforting meal.
