  1. This was lovely. I just had some freshly cooked, but I've frozen some too. I added more cayenne, because I love it, and also added some green capsicum (bell pepper), but otherwise stuck to the recipe. For how easy it was to make, the taste was fantastic!
     
  2. This is decent for a freezer meal, but needs some playing with on the ingredients to get the flavors just right. I'd cut back on the onion and up the sherry or the soy sauce for a bit more robust flavor.
