When I was young, my mum always cook
this sauce for us, the same taste,
but I  just added some veggies for decorations.
My kids loves it and hope you all love it too.

3pcs garlic
canola oil or choice of your oil for frying
1pc capsicum ( any color)
1pc Chilli (optional)

1/3 cup of water
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce


* Fry onion, garlic, capsicum, until a little bit brown




* Add the soy sauce, water, let it boil, 
taste it to make it sure it's not salty,
add water if necessary, stir and boil for 3mins.
