Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Fry 1/2 cup sliced shallots until golden and crispy, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel; set aside.
Step 2
In the same pot, bring stock and remaining shallots to a boil over high heat, 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir tamarind paste into the broth until dissolved. Add radish slices and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Slide fish chunks into the broth. Cook at a gentle bubble until fish is opaque and flakes easily, 6–7 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in leafy greens and cook until just wilted, 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt and tamarind as needed.
Step 6
Pour into bowls, top with crispy fried shallots, and serve with fried spring rolls and spicy vinegar dip on the side.
