I'm sure there's no other alternative to stew that would not require the same stress, time and money.

Oh yeah! Sauce is any thickened watery kind of gravy you eat your food with. What we wrongly call stew should be referred to as tomato sauce because stew is actually a method of cooking and not the name of the food, we are wrongly referring to our tomato sauce as stew.
The good thing about food is that you can create anything you want. You can't believe what you can achieve with coconut water, you can make a string of great sauces to eat your rice with it. All you have to do is use different vegs and different spices for different sets and name it what you like. As for the paw paw, some people use it in their tomato sauce. I use to grind in some pumpkin into my tomato sauce too(not the green leaves but the yellow body of the big round pumpkin body that is shaped like watermelon). It is very nutritious.
When I did my youth service, I derived a quick and easy way of eating rice and branded it Cucumato rice. I just boil my white rice and eat it with a mixture of diced cucumber and fresh tomato along with sardine or Geisha. It's nice. There are great ways you can eat your rice.

You can make meat sauce by cooking your well spiced chicken or meat, thickening it with corn starch(grocery packed) or flour, throw in some cut up mixed vegetables like peas,carrot,broccoli,carbage, cauliflower. It is even sweeter than our normal tomato sauce. This is where you can employ coconut water to add fun to the meat sauce if you wish, I use that sometimes. (I recommend that you always keep packs of already mixed vegetable they have in the grocery or you can buy cheaper vegs in the market, cut them up and keep in the fridge).

You can also fry up some mixed vegetables in olive oil, spice it up a little bit and if you have any canned fish in your pantry, warm it nicely and eat them all together. Nice and easy! You can even quickly cut up sausages (Oh yes! same sausage u eat your breakfast bread with) and fry dry it a bit together with cut up fresh tomato and onions, spice it up and your rice is ready to eat. Yum Yum!

This thread reminded me of a very sweet sauce I use to make with cauliflower. How do I concoct it again? Racks my brain. I cook up my spiced meat and throw in a mixture of carrot and cauliflower(cauliflower is the base veg,so I put plenty of it) green it up with another green veg say green beans. Add a tin of the oriental veg mix (mushroom,bamboo shoot,babycorn). Spice it up nicely. Boy! that my sauce is damn sweet! Sweeter if the choice meat is beef, the taste of beef in the meat gravy has the sauce exploding with rich taste. I like to play up with vegs.
I also have my cabbage version of it in which cabbage is the base veg but the cabbage version is simpler, does not get a throw in of the oriental mix and the method of cooking it is different. The meat is first boiled and kept aside, the vegs get slightly fried in this order onion, carrot, cabbage, green beans before meat broth is poured in, heated a little bit more and it's ready to it.
The sweet thing is that it's all your recipe. Made by yourself.

Another lovely quick one is get a handful of green beans, wash it and dip them in hot water for 2 minutes and cut off the tip ends slightly. Get two sticks of carrot, wash, scrape off the back and cut it straight up vertically into say 7 or 8 parts so that it will be as long and thin as the green beans. Simply Garnish your rice with the mixture of long carrots and green beans. Add warmed canned salmon fish,mackerel or sardine.

PG1 Egg sauce recipe.

slice your onions, tomatoes and a lil pepper then you heat your oil and throw in the onions, tomatoes, pepper to fry add salt. In a bowl break as many eggs as you desire and whisk, pour the whisked eggs in your tomatoe sauce stir well to give it that scrambled look then let it fry a little, bring it down and voila your egg sauce is ready. Most people eat this with yam buh its also delish with rice and spag. Enjoy

To make quick corned beef sauce
Place a sauce pan on the cooker, add some vegetable oil. Chop you onions, when the oil heats up add the onions, tomato puree.
If you have fresh tomotoes, wash and cut up and add to the onions and tomato puree, if you don't have skip this and add grinded pepper, salt, seasoning cube, curry and thyme and a bit of water allow to simmer for a while and added your corned beef. Allow to simmer for 3-5 mins and serve with a steaming plate of rice. Enjoy your meal
Bump.
Corned beef sauce... An impressive recipe.
