💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
6
Add the red pepper, green pepper and onion and fry 3 minutes, stirring.

💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.

Add the sauce for the pan and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
