Notes

  1. You can cook the same dish with broiler chicken. 
  2. Add vegetable of your choice. Veggies like chow chow, cabbage, mustard greens, broccoli, cauliflower etc are some veggies you can add in addition to the one used in the recipe.
  3. You can also add fermented bamboo shoot. 
  4. Adding a dash of king chilly takes the stew to another level. I havent used it in the stew since my son cant have that much hot.
  5. If ginger leaves is available you can crush it and add them in the stew. It's imparts an amazing flavor and aroma.
