Sinamak - How to make

Last Updated on March 1, 2019 by Ed Joven

How to make Sinamak

Sinamak Recipe - Filipinos love to have "sawsawan" (dipping sauce) in their grilled dish and Sinamak from the Western Visayas region is one of the most popular.  You can find Sinamak in most native restaurants in the Philippines, because it is a great dip for seafood dishes.  Now supermarkets sells Sinamak.

Sinamak is a spiced vinegar and very easy to prepare, the basic ingredients are siling labuyo, ginger, peppercorns and garlic, but in Western Visayas it always has langkawas or galangal. Langkawas gives your Sinamak an enticing aroma and appetizing flavor, but if you can't find one, Ginger is good enough.

When serving Sinamak, you can mix it with soy sauce or fish sauce.

    Im always fond of making sinamak for personal consumption. The only challenged I encountered was completing the ingredients since "langkawas" is very hard to find even on the local market.

    What is grilled or fried fish without sinamak? Every Negrense household has a bottle on the dining table. Thank you, Pare Ed, for sharing this recipe.

    What is the ratio soy sauce to sinamak. Or pour it by taste?

      depends on your taste buds some like it salty, just pour it and taste the saltiness.
