Peel the shrimp and roughly chop the tomatoes and onion.
Put the water, tomatoes, onion, and white radish in a pot and boil for 10 minutes.
Loosen the tamarind paste with a ladle of hot water and strain it into the pot.
Add the okra, fish sauce, and salt, then cook for 6 minutes.
Add the shrimp and boil for 4 minutes, until they turn pink.
Press the spinach into the soup and cook for 1 minute without letting it lose its color.
Check the sourness and serve hot with rice.
💡 Tip: Add the shrimp at the very end; if they boil too long, they toughen and the soup's seafood aroma becomes heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve sinigang na hipon hot with plain rice and optional finely chopped hot pepper.
