Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 1/2 lb white fish fillet (snapper), cubed
  • 2 tbsp sour curry paste
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 1 cup daikon radish, sliced
  • 3/4 cup green beans, cut

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Bring the stock to a boil and whisk in the sour curry paste until dissolved.
  2. Add the daikon and cauliflower and simmer 8 minutes until beginning to soften.
  3. Stir in the tamarind, fish sauce, and palm sugar to build the sour-savory-sweet balance.
  4. Add the green beans and simmer 4 minutes.
  5. Gently add the fish cubes and poach 4 minutes until just cooked through, avoiding hard boiling so they hold together.
