Instructions
1
Prep
Mince the garlic, cut the fish fillet into bite-sized chunks, dice the tomato into wedges, and chop the pineapple into chunks.
2
Sauté
Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the tamarind paste and water.
3
Simmer
Bring the broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 3 minutes until the tamarind dissolves and turns light brown, then add the tomato and pineapple and simmer for 5 minutes until softened.
4
Poach
Add the fish chunks and okra to the broth and poach over medium-low heat for 5 to 6 minutes until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily.
5
Finish
Stir in the fish sauce, sugar, salt, and bean sprouts, then simmer over medium heat for 1 minute until the sprouts just wilt but stay crisp.
6
Cook
In a separate pot of boiling water over high heat, cook the rice noodles for 3 to 4 minutes until tender but still slightly chewy, then drain.
7
Plate
Place the drained rice noodles in a deep bowl, ladle the hot soup and fish over the top, then scatter the sliced scallion and chopped cilantro over the surface.
