Stir in the tamarind paste and fish sauce. Adjust to taste if more sourness is needed.

Step 4

Add the daikon radish, eggplant, okra, and green beans. Cover and continue simmering for another 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.

Step 5

Add the water spinach or spinach and green chile/jalapeño (if using) in the last 5 minutes of cooking, just until the greens are wilted.
