Hi Binnur,
How many cups is 350gr approximately?
Regards
Hi,
I didn't measure it with a cup. It's 350 g package of frozen peas:) But I may say app. 2 cups!
Take care,
Hi Binnur,
You recommend that frozen peas are used in the recipe. When cooked do frozen sweet peas tend to be more tender or soft like the canned one? I am cooking the recipe as directed in the instructions and all the other vegetables are softened but the sweet peas remain tender.
Best
The sweet peas and potatoes will be tender. When you overcook them, they get mushy:)
Can I substitute green onions with yellow onions?
Sure, you can use yellow onions instead of the fresh green ones:)
