For the next step, throw in the chilli, Knorr Sinigang sa Sampalok Mix Original, radish, and okra. Bring these to a boil, then you may lower the temp to continue simmer for 2 minutes.
Finally, add the cooked cubed lechon kawali and kangkong go in to the pot. Give this a good minute to simmer and it’s done! Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
