There is one dish that is perfect for dreary days. Sinigang is one of our favorite dishes, Pork Sinigang, Beef Sinigang, Sinigang na Hipon.  It is a dish that can be done in 30-40 minutes and only requires a boiling pan.  I am making Bangus Sinigang Recipe (Sinigang na Bangus).  This is the best food for cold weather and rainy season.  The recipe is simple and easy to prepare, but I made sure I add enough vegetables on it and the sourness of the soup gives my family the satisfaction of what they are craving for hot and sour soup.
