Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and lay flat in your freezer, Don’t forget to label with the name of the dish, date it was made and that it stays good for 3-4 months.
Can I use Frozen ingredients?
You can use individual frozen ingredients but you'll need to thaw and drain them well before using. Snow peas, carrot, spinach, mushrooms, and peppers are all sold in the frozen section of your grocery store. Another option would be to use an Asian blend of frozen vegetables.
