Ingredients

  • about 680 g Pork belly
  • 8 cups Water
  • 2 tbsp Tamarind paste
  • 1 bunch Radish
  • 1 head Bok choy
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2.54 cm Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 1 cup Green beans
  • 2 cups Spinach

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place the about 680 g of pork belly into a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add the 8 cups of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. 2Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Add the 1 medium onion, cut into quarters, and the 2.54 cm of ginger, smashed. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, or until the pork belly is fork-tender. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during simmering.
  3. 3Stir in the 2 tbsp of tamarind paste and the 1 tbsp of fish sauce until fully combined. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  4. 4Add the bunch of radish, trimmed and cut into 2.54 cm thick rounds, and the 1 cup of green beans, trimmed and cut into 5.08 cm pieces. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the radish is slightly tender.
  5. 5Add the head of bok choy, separated into leaves and stems, and the 2 cups of spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or just until the bok choy and spinach have wilted.
  6. 6Serve the Keto Sinigang with Pork Belly hot.
