Hi Singing Chef.... yes the paste freezes easily & you can also substitue the chicken for fish or beef. As far as quantity goes I can only say that it makes quite a substantial amount & it really depends on how many parcels you make. It's so authentic & very delicious....enjoy!! I will also post the Water Spinach with Sambal Pelecing which can also be steamed above the rice in the Varoma. Thank you for your positive comments.
