A useful tips
・Adjust the amount of salt you add depending on the bacon’s saltiness and how savory the tomato becomes.
・If you want to bring out the tomato’s sour tang, add it to the pot later and shorten its simmer time. Conversely, if you want to enjoy a more mellow taste, simmer longer.
・If you want to retain the snap garden peas’ firm texture, shorten its simmer time.
・To make the onion easier to eat, cut it into bite-sized pieces before cooking. If you want to make them very sweet, take your time to cook them at low heat.
