Sinigang mix is a specialist item, best found through a Filipino grocer or online rather than a mainstream UK supermarket.
Which aisle is sinigang mix in?
Mainstream UK supermarkets do not generally stock sinigang mix, so it is not found in a standard aisle. Filipino grocers keep it near other packet seasoning mixes.
Where to look, supermarket by supermarket
- Filipino grocers. Packet sachets, near other Filipino seasoning mixes.
- Larger Asian supermarkets sometimes carry a small selection.
Aisle numbers move between branches, so use the section as your guide.
Is sinigang mix sold in Tesco?
No, sinigang mix is not a mainstream UK supermarket item. A Filipino grocer or an online specialist is the reliable route.
What to ask a member of staff
Ask for sinigang mix by brand name, Knorr and Mama Sita’s are the two most commonly stocked.
Asian supermarkets
A Filipino grocer is the most reliable source, and usually stocks more than one brand and flavour variant, such as tamarind or guava.
Buying it online
Online is a good option if there is no Filipino grocer nearby, and packets keep well unopened.
Storing it
Keep unopened sachets in the cupboard. Once opened, reseal tightly and use within a few months.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make sinigang without the packet mix?
Yes, using fresh tamarind or tamarind paste as the souring agent, though the mix is a quicker, more consistent shortcut.
What flavours does sinigang mix come in?
Tamarind is the most common, though guava, miso and other souring bases are also sold.
