- Simmer for about an 1-1 1/2 hour on low heat for the meat to cook well.
- Stir occasionally and add some water if needed.
- Do not add too much water because the spinach will release some water and you want the sauce to be thick.

- If after the spinach is cooked and the sauce is not thick, take some sauce out of the pot, dilute 1-2 tbsp of corn flour or plain flour and pour it back into the pot to thicken the sauce
