Scale

- 1 tamarind soup mix packet or 1 cup fresh tamarind pulp
- 6 cups water
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork: Rinse pork under cold water and cut into bite-size pieces.
- Boil the Meat: Combine pork, onion, tomatoes, and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming off any foam.
- Add Vegetables: Once the pork is tender, add taro and cook for 10 minutes. Next, stir in radish, green beans, and water spinach.

Notes
Tamarind is essential for that authentic sour flavor—use kamias or green mango as substitutes, but taste as you go to achieve signature tanginess.
