Ingredients

• 200 grams vegan beef chunks
• 3 tablespoons tamarind paste
• 6 cups water
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 ripe tomato, quartered
• 1 daikon radish, peeled and sliced
• 1 eggplant, sliced
• 100 grams green beans, trimmed
• 100 grams water spinach (kangkong) or regular spinach
• 200 grams silken tofu, cubed
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce alternative or soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the tomatoes and continue to cook until they soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Add the tamarind paste and stir to dissolve.

Step 4

Once boiling, add the vegan beef chunks and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 5

Add the daikon radish and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 6

Stir in the eggplant and green beans, cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Add the fish sauce alternative or soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 8

Carefully add the cubed silken tofu and let it warm through, being gentle so as not to break the tofu cubes.

Step 9

Lastly, add the water spinach or regular spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve hot as a soup or over steamed rice for a more filling meal. Adjust the seasoning with additional tamarind paste or salt to your preference before serving.
