Fry for a few minutes, until softened.

6
Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
7
Remove the star anise (see note).

There wont be too much sauce, so noodles/rice wont be swimming in it like soup.

There will be just enough sauce so it can be mixed up.

Bon appetit!

Note: Star anise can be expensive, which is why I recycle them.

Since they need to be fished out of the dish anyway, I dry them after fishing them out and save for another use.
