Ingredients:

1/3 kilo beef ribs

1/4 kilo beef chunks (lean meat)

1 med sized labanos, peeled and sliced

2 pcs med.sized gabi (taro), peeled and sliced

a bunch of kangkong (about 2 cups)

a bunch of sigarilyas (about 10 pcs)

a bunch of sitaw (about 10 strings)

3 ripe tomatoes, chunked

2 sibuyas tagalog

3 siling haba

instant tamarind mix powder (best if you have some fresh tamarind to be used for seasoning)

fish sauce

about a liter of water


Procedure:

1. In a big pot, let water boil, the drop the beef chunkss and ribs.Cover. Let it cook for about an hour or until the meat gets really tender. Add more water if needed.
2. When meat is tender, add gabi. cover and cook for about 5 minutes, then add labanos, tomatoes and onions. Let cook for about 3-5 minutes. Season with tamarind powder mix and fish sauce. I like it really sour...
3. Add siling haba, okra, sigarilyas and sitaw. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. We like the green veggies crisp so do not overcook.
4. Add kangkong before putting off the fire.
