Simple Recipe - Mustard Cabbage Tamarind Soup

One of my favorite dish which normally goes well with rice and salted egg.  It has been tradition that mom in law will have this Mustard Cabbage Tamarind Soup (in hokkien Kong Asam Kua Chai) with fried fish and salted egg, yum so appetizing thatI I tend to have additional rice.




Tamarind paste brand that I used.
This is 500g packing, there is also 250 g packing
Separate the leaves and stem

Ingredients
125g of tamarind: 2 big bowl of water
16 dried chilli
5-6 tablespoon sugar
Salt to taste
Pork belly cut into thick piecs, approx 1 cm
Mustard Cabbage

Method
Wash tamarind then juice into 2 big bowl water
Put into a pot
Add in dried chilli, sugar, salt
Boil 20 minutes, add in Pork Belly, cook till soft
Add in stem, once stem soft, lastly put in the leaves
Try the soup, if you feel not enough sour (add tamarind juice), sweet (sugar) or salty (salt)

Simple right? Happy Cooking.
