TIP: Rice/Pasta Packs

To save time and effort, bulk cook rice and pasta in the usual way. Cool very quickly by placing in a strainer under running cold water. This also separates the rice/pasta. Then pack in bags to suit your family catering and freeze. Defrost when needed. (Only one lot of washing up pans and strainers!)

*Pictures shown use whole ckicken breasts, whilst the recipe works as well with whole pieces, it is recommended to cut the chiken into strips before cooking.
