Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Return clean pork to pot with fresh 6 cups water. Add garlic and onion halves.

  3. Step 3

    Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes until pork is nearly tender.

  4. Step 4

    Stir tamarind concentrate into the broth until fully dissolved. Add radish chunks.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer for 12 minutes until radish is knife-tender and pork pulls apart easily.

  6. Step 6

    Add spinach or bok choy and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Step 7

    Ladle into bowls, distributing pork, radish, and broth evenly. Serve hot.
