Cooking tips

  • Since vegetables release plenty of moisture, keep the water at around 300cc instead of up to 500cc to ensure the seasoning is perfectly balanced.
  • Do not cook until all the liquid evaporates—turn off the heat while a little remains so that as it cools, the starch will thicken the sauce to a satisfying, firm texture.
  • For a sweeter taste, increase the onion to one whole or adjust the sugar slightly at the end.

Recommended for

  • Beginners seeking a reliable, fail-proof recipe for delicious rice side dishes.
  • Those who enjoy fluffy, tender potatoes mixed with spicy sauce and stirred into rice.
