Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add sausage coins and cook 2 minutes until lightly browned.

  2. Step 2

    Add chicken cubes to the pot. Brown for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges turn opaque.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in tomatoes with juice and broth. Add potato cubes and fish sauce, then stir to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 8 minutes until potatoes are almost tender.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in chopped cabbage. Simmer 3 more minutes until cabbage wilts but still has a slight bite.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust salt with additional fish sauce or regular salt. Serve in bowls with broth.
