This was a quick made-up dish when there was pretty much nothing left in the house. I grabbed what I had, banged it into a pot and it turned out pretty good, if not a little spicy! The sauce was great drizzled over rice.

Ingredients

You can use pretty much anything, this is just the list of things I had in the cupboard.

  • 2 potatoes, diced ~2cm pieces
  • 2 carrots, roughly sliced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic (crushed or minced)
  • 1/3 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar (optional)


Method

  1. In a large pot, brown onion and garlic in a bit of oil
  2. Add vegetables and briefly fry
  3. Add water, soy and other ingredients
  4. Bring to boil
  5. Turn down to low
  6. Cook with lid on for 45 mins (or until meat cooked/veg tender)
  7. Serve with rice

Works well with chicken thighs, briefly friend to seal before adding vegetables. May want to use less soy, depending on taste.
