Vegetable Stew (Tom Jabchai) Recipe

This is sometimes called "Chinese" vegetable stew in Thailand, because the vegetables are usually of Chinese origin. You can make substitutions according to what is fresh in your market.Sometimes I use carrots, rutabegas, and onions. I make this according to the seasonal veggies. You need at least 4 different veggies to get the variety of tastes and textures required, but I often use 10 or 12 different veggies. The essential flavor comes from the pork belly. This is a "one dish" meal.

1 Head Napa cabbage, in moderate sized chunks
1 Head Round cabbage, cored, and cut into 1" cubes
2 pkgs. firm tofu, cut into bite size pieces
12 Dried Shiitaki mushrooms, soaked and trimmed or fresh shiitaki
1/2 chicken or duck, cut into bite sized pieces.
1/2 lb pork belly cut into ˝" cubes.
4 cups Daikon cut into 1" slices and quartered
