    I have a question when you say this recipe can be put in a slow cooker on a big Ziploc bag and put in the freezer for later on. Do you cook it first or just mix everything up together and then you put it in Ziploc bag in freezer that be nice to know Because you say you take it out of the freezer overnight in the fridge, and then you put it in the slow cooker at the overcook

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      It can be put in a ziplock bag before cooking, making it a freezer meal you can cook later.

  2. M. Neil Stevens says:

    Should we add salt and pepper at any time? or does the prepared sauce take care of that? Thks.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      It’s pretty salty on it’s own, you can add pepper if you’de like!

  3. Barbara says:

    Are you familiar with Mr. Yoshida Marinade and Cooking Sauce? That is my go-to sauce. I wondered about using it instead of Soy Vay.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      That sounds like a great choice, I will try myself.
