- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 medium-sized radish, sliced
- 1 eggplant, sliced into rounds
- 10-12 pieces string beans (sitaw), cut into 2-inch lengths

Preparation Steps
- Boil the Water: In a large pot, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

- Tamarind Mix: Stir in the Sinigang sa Sampalok mix, making sure it’s well-dissolved. This mix provides the signature tangy flavor of Sinigang.
- Shrimp and Chili Peppers: Add the shrimp to the pot and continue simmering for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Toss in the green chili peppers to add some heat to the soup.
- Seasoning: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference for sourness.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Sinigang na Hipon is traditionally served with steamed rice and fish sauce with calamansi (Filipino lime) as a dipping sauce.
