2. Sauté the Aromatics:

6. Simmer and Finish:

   • Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Adjust seasoning as needed. Add the chopped tomato and sliced green onion in the final minute of cooking.

7. Serve:

   • Once the sauce has thickened slightly and the vegetables are tender, remove from heat. Serve hot over steamed rice or enjoy as a standalone dish.
