Well let me explain how it’s done, so today I will share a big tip that I use in my kitchen specially when cooking my soups and stews when I am in a hurry. Sometimes when I am lazy or in a hurry instead of sautéing my garlic and onions I just use the crispy fried shallots and garlic which you can buy in Asian shops, using this would save you heaps of time chopping or mincing them and it will be one less step. I also use stocks on soups and meat with some fatty parts as this brings a lot of flavour. Now having those in your pantry would be really helpful and perhaps you understand now why I can make this recipe below in no time, but if you love the usual way of doing things then go for it there’s nothing wrong on both techniques.

If you haven’t tried that method I suggest you do, that might be life changing idea for you and instead of buying takeaways you start cooking at home. Anyways in this recipe I partly used that technique, if you don’t want the hot and spicy element on this dish then you can omit that step and not bother sautéing at all.
