• 4 tbsps cooking oil
• 4 cloves garlic, finely crushed
• 1 large (50 grams) red onion, finely minced

Procedure:

In a bowl, combine the first-three ingredients. Mix well. Set aside.

In a wok, put oil. Put over medium-high fire. Saute garlic until golden brown. Follow with onion and tomato. Saute and mash until soft.

Add the carrot and potato. Saute fo 3 minutes. Put marinated pork and red bell pepper. Saute until pork changes color and separates.

Put water, tomato sauce and cheese. Mix. Cover. Bring to boil. Then, decrease to medium-low, gently simmer for 8 minutes. Add the green peas, cook for another 2 minutes.

Serve over hot steamed rice, but personally, I like mine mixed with rice as you can see in the picture.
