Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly colored.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, fish sauce along with ½ cup water. Add the meat and mix together until thoroughly combined.
Simmer for 20 minutes. At this point, the meat will be almost tender. It can be held at room temperature for a few hours or covered, and refrigerated for several hours before finishing.
When almost ready to serve, reheat the meat, simmer for another 15 minutes, adding the peas after 5 minutes. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Do you have most of a tin of tomato paste that eventually turns black lurking in the frig? You used 1 tablespoon in a sauce and then forgot about it?Here's an easy way to ensure you'll have fresh tomato paste whenever you need it. Remove the contents to a piece of plastic wrap, spread it out to an even thickness and then using the ends of the plastic wrap, roll the plastic into a cylinder that looks like a thin sausage.Store this in the freezer and cut off chunks as you need them.Good substitutes for fish sauce include soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.Serving size: ½ recipeClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.8*SmartPoints (Green plan)7*SmartPoints (Blue plan)7*SmartPoints (Purple plan)5*PointsPlus (Old plan)
