7. Now add the frozen vegetable mix to the pan. Salt (keeping in mind that we won’t be salting the funchoza while cooking) and pepper to taste. If using fresh vegetables, add them to the chicken earlier, before it turns golden, as they require more cooking time than frozen ones.

9. Cook the funchoza according to the instructions on the package. We added 100g of funchoza to boiling water and cooked it for 6 minutes, then drained it and rinsed it with cold water. Sometimes, simply pouring boiling water over the funchoza for 5-7 minutes is enough; check the instructions on your specific package.
