Veggie Afrtida

Ingredients:

1/2 cup veggie meat or tofu (optional)

tomatoes

bell pepper

green beans

garlic

onion

oil

1/4 cup soy milk or regular milk

2 tbsp. tomato paste

1 tbsp. brown sugar

salt 

pepper

1 tbsp.soy sauce

1 cup water

Cut the vegetables into big chunks just like this.

Cook the potatoes in cooking oil until they are slightly cooked or until

they attain a little bit of color. Add your choice of protein and then saute 

garlic, onion and tomatoes until the onion is translucent. 

Season them with salt and pepper and then add the tomato paste, bell pepper, 

soy sauce, sugar, soy milk and water then let it simmer for few minutes

until potatoes are fully cooked.

Add green beans and let it simmer for another 3 minutes.

Serve with rice or bread.

You can add your own ingredients to make it something of your own.

If this was my normal afritada, I'd add vegetable stock and a little

bit of sriracha or chili garlic sauce.

For the meantime, this recipe is meant to be simple so that ingredients are

very easy to find and are available even from your neighbor's sari-sari store.

Assuming that most people are like me, skipping recipes when there's

an ingredient that I can't even pronounce, this is a jackpot.
