Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef chuck cut into 1" chunks
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 large onion quartered
  • 6 Tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 large potatoes peeled and cut into 4-6 pieces each

  • 2 baby bok choy washed well and ends cut off
  • 1 cup rice cooked

  2. Lower heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 2 hours.
  3. Add corn, if using, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add potatoes and carrots and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add green beans, cabbage, and bok choy. Simmer for 5 minutes more or until potatoes are tender. Add salt to taste and serve with rice.
