Home-made spaghetti sauce

Thanks to Hooi Thiam for this recipe. Her mother used to work with the English people during British colonial and used to cook this for them. 

When she told me the ingredients, the first thing came to my mind is ABC soup. Yes, the ingredients are what you include in the ABC soup. 

Ingredients for 2 to 3 people:
6 tomatoes (peel off skin and remove the seeds)
2 large carrots
1 big onion
1/2 teaspoon of butter
1 tablespoon of oil
1 bowl of minced meat
1 to 2 bowl of water

1) Chop the tomatoes, carrots and onion into small pieces. 

2) Put oil and butter into a pan and stir-fry onion till fragrant. 

3) Add in tomatoes and carrots. Stir-fry till they mix well.

4) Add in minced meat and fry till meat almost done. 

5) Add in the water. Cover the pan and let simmer for an hour under LOW heat. Add pinch of salt and sugar to the dish and mix well.

6) At the meantime, put a pot of water to boil and cook the noodles. 

Note: You may choose to add 1/2 can of tomato puree for a better colour on the dish. But then, you will have to add more salt and sugar to make it to taste. 

Let's try this healthy sauce with no preservatives and colouring today!
