Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Add minced chicken
    Minced chicken meat sliding from a white plate into a metal pan using a green spatula.

    Transfer the minced chicken into a pre-heated, oiled pan. Use a spatula to break up the meat and begin the stir-frying process.

    Tip: Ensure the oil is adequately heated before adding the meat to prevent sticking.
  2. 2Stir-fry minced chicken
    Cooked minced chicken being stirred in a metal pan with a green spatula.

    Continue stir-frying the minced chicken in the pan using the green spatula until the pieces become thoroughly browned and cooked.

    Tip: Break apart any large clumps of meat with the spatula for even cooking.
  3. 3Add aromatics
    Chopped green onions and garlic scattered over cooked minced chicken inside a pan.

    Add chopped green onions and minced garlic directly into the pan with the cooked minced chicken, mixing them thoroughly.

    Tip: Add the aromatics after the meat has browned to release their fragrance without burning.
  4. 4Incorporate green peas
    Green peas mixed evenly with chicken and aromatics in a cooking pan.

    Add a generous portion of green peas into the pan containing the chicken and aromatics, tossing everything together.

    Tip: Fresh or thawed frozen green peas work best to maintain a vibrant color and tender texture.
  5. 5Add diced tomatoes
    Diced tomatoes being poured from a plate into the pan of ingredients.

    Pour freshly diced tomatoes into the pan with the chicken, peas, and aromatics, combining the ingredients well.

    Tip: Ripe tomatoes will release their juices, creating a rich base for the sauce.
  6. 6Season with salt
    A spoonful of salt being sprinkled over the ingredients inside the cooking pan.

    Add a spoonful of salt into the pan containing the mixture to enhance the savory flavors.

    Tip: Adjust the salt according to personal taste preference and the saltiness of the sauce.
  7. 7Stir in the sauce
    Pre-mixed brown sauce being poured from a white bowl into a skillet filled with cooked minced meat, tomatoes, and peas.

    Pour the pre-mixed sauce directly into the pan with the chicken, peas, and tomatoes, stirring well to combine.

    Tip: Pour evenly around the pan to ensure the sauce incorporates smoothly with all the ingredients.
  8. 8Plate the tomato meat sauce over spaghetti
    A pan filled with a simmering, rich tomato and meat sauce bubbling on the stovetop.

    Pour the freshly prepared tomato meat sauce over a plate of previously boiled spaghetti.

    Tip: Ensure the sauce is evenly distributed over the pasta for maximum flavor in every bite.
