Ingredients

  • 5 cups water
  • 1 small onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 6-inch radish, peeled and cut into 1-inch thickness
  • ½ package tamarind soup base mix (about .70 ounce)
  • 2 bunches bok choy, ends trimmed
  • 1 can (11.5 ounces) chunky corned beef
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a soup pot over medium heat, combine water, onion, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  • Add radish. Lower heat and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender-crisp.
  • Add tamarind soup base mix and stir until dissolved.
  • Add bok choy and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Add corned beef and cook, breaking apart into large chunks with a spoon, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.
  • Season with salt to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra depth of flavor, use rice washing in place of plain water.
  • Want a hint of spice? Add a piece or two of finger chili peppers (siling haba).
  • For the best result, make sure to use CHUNKY corned beef and gently break it into large pieces. Limit stirring the soup to keep the meat intact.
