Great recipe! I used ground pork instead of beef and pork broth cubes instead of beef bouillon. For the veggies I got only carrots,bok choy (pechay), and chayote (sayote). I didn't put mushrooms because it will cause high uric acid level.

 

[Ive got a recipe]

I made this for a Fillipino friend and seven others. Five of them asked for the recipe. It really was wonderful. I did use a sweet potato as I had no white in the house. used mushrooms, carrots, and celery as vegetables.
