Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add pork chunks, return to boil, then drain and rinse under cold water to remove impurities.
Step 2
Return clean pork to pot with fresh 6 cups water. Add garlic and onion halves.
Step 3
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes until pork is nearly tender.
Step 4
Stir tamarind concentrate into the broth until fully dissolved. Add radish chunks.
Step 5
Simmer for 12 minutes until radish is knife-tender and pork pulls apart easily.
Step 6
Add spinach or bok choy and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7
Ladle into bowls, distributing pork, radish, and broth evenly. Serve hot.
