Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. In a small pot, combine the rice and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
In a separate small pot, combine the pork, 2 1/2 cups water, onion, and tomato. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming any foam that rises. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Done when pork is cooked through with no pink inside, 145°F.
Stir in the tamarind paste, fish sauce, and salt. Add the green beans and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the bok choy and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste the broth and add a little more tamarind, if desired, until clearly tart.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place it in a deep bowl. Ladle the pork chunks, vegetables, and plenty of broth over the rice.
