Now the procedures
First I sliced the onion and tometoes circularly, and the ginger I pressed it a little bit.
Well it depends on you again the style you want. to cut or slice your ingridients

Then the camote tops. I removed the tip of it because it is the one I am going to use. I did not included the last part because its a little bit hard.
