1. Prepare the Pork
Heat the cooking oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and soft.
2. Cook the Tomatoes
Add the diced tomatoes and cook until softened and mushy, about 5–7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Add the Pork
Add the pork pieces to the pot and sauté for 5–7 minutes until lightly browned. Season with fish sauce.
4. Simmer
Pour in the water or pork broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 30–40 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
5. Add the Vegetables
Add the leafy greens, green beans, and green chili. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
6. Season to Taste
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add more fish sauce if desired.
7. Serve
Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy with steamed rice.
Tips & Variations:
For a richer flavor, you can sear the pork until golden brown before adding the tomatoes.
