All-in-1 Stew Recipe: Meat Patties and Vegetable Stew

Whether you are a meat lover or a vegetarian lover, I am sure you will love this all-in-1 Meat Patties and Vegetable Stew for sure !

I found this recipe in my old recipe scrapbook yesterday, and it the magazine picture which I had pasted on it looked so good to eat that I had decided to try out yesterday’s dinner.

It is really an easy to prepare stew for any novice homemaker or even a single adult at home.

I will be pinning this picture at my Pinterest soon and spread around to my Facebook friends. Hope they will love this meat and veggie stew as much as I did!

Ingredients you need to prepare

Pork- Buy fresh lean pork, mince the meat with a food processor or simply use a cleaver. Do buy ready packed minced pork because it is not fresh. Alternatively if you do not like pork, you can use minced mutton, chicken,lamb or beef.

For vegetarian, buy mocked meat ball to replace the patties.

Vegetables- I love assorted vegetables, especially the tubers. Carrots and potatoes make a wonderful combination for sweet and sour sauce stew. Cut them into chunks, par boil for a few minutes in order to soften them before stir fry.

Alternatively, you could replace the tubers with celery, capcium ( bell peppers),cucumbers, pumpkins or radish.

Do not cook this stew with leafy greens. It will turned limp and taste odd too.

Onions and garlic- You can’t go without these intro ingredients in every recipe that you cook, right?

Chopped and minced onions ( red) with garlic bring out the fragrant aroma to your stew.

Alternatively, you could replace red onions with shallots or yellow big onions which are tastier.

If garlic is expensive or out of stock, my mother-in-law had taught me to use GINGER instead!

Yes, it was a miracle that ginger could bring out the similar aroma to garlic and better because it gets rid of the wind and warms up your tummy.

Ginger is much cheaper than garlic and onion, by the way.
