Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 cups kamias
  • 1 small onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 medium tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 banana chili
  • 1 cup labanos (radish), peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup long beans, ends trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths
  • 1 pound salmon belly, scaled and cut into pieces
  • 1 eggplant, stemmed and cut into chunks
  • 4 pieces okra, ends trimmed
  • salt to taste
  • 1 bunch bok choy

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, bring water to a boil. Add fish sauce.
  • Add kamias, onions, tomatoes, and chili pepper. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add radish and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.  
  • Add long beans, eggplant, and okra and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add bok choy and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. 
  • Add salmon and continue to cook for about 7 to 10 minutes or until fish changes color and flakes easily and vegetables are tender yet crisp. 
  • Season with salt to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

This soup is super quick and easy to make. To ensure the fish doesn't get overcooked and fall apart in the soup, cook first the kamias to draw out the most flavor and the vegetables until tender-crisp before adding the bellies.
