- If you want to this veg stew ahead of time, you may prep the veggies in advance. Wash, dry, and chop the veggies and store in a dry container with a lid or a dry newspaper in the refrigerator (summer) or in a cool place on the kitchen counter (winter).
- Make sure to cook on slow flame and add salt with veggies for quick cooking.
