1

Rinse pork ribs and drain well.

2

In a pot over medium heat, combine pork and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that accumulates on top.

Once the broth clears, add tomatoes, onion, and fish sauce. Lower heat and simmer for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender, adding more water as necessary to maintain about 8 cups.

4

Add gabi and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes or until tender.

5

Add chili peppers and radish. Continue to simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.

6

Add long beans. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes.

7

Add eggplant and okra and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.

8

If using packaged tamarind base, add to the pot and stir until completely dissolved. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

9

Add bok choy and continue to cook for about 1 minute. Serve hot.
