👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides.
4
Stir in the chopped tomatoes (or crushed tomatoes) and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to break down.
5
Pour in the water or chicken broth, season with salt and black pepper. Add chili pepper if using. Bring the stew to a simmer.
6
Cover the pot and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
7
Add the sliced okra to the pot. Stir well and continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with nsima or rice.
