60 minutes
Serves 5
Lunch/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the Pork: In a large pot, combine the pork belly chunks, quartered tomatoes, onion, and 8 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Skim and Simmer: Once boiling, skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 40-45 minutes, or until the pork is fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Add Tamarind and Radish: Stir in the tamarind soup base and the sliced radish. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the radish is somewhat translucent and tender.

  4. 4

    Season and Add Greens: Season the broth with fish sauce to taste. Add the long green chilies and the kangkong stalks, cooking for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish: Turn off the heat, add the kangkong leaves, and cover the pot. The residual heat will wilt the leaves perfectly in about 2 minutes. Serve hot with steamed white rice.
