Tasty! Substituted fresh snow peas for the frozen green beans and added some corn.

Hi Debra, Well spotted! I've added the spring onion here, and the onion to the red beef curry recipe too. Thanks so much for letting us know :) Hope you're enjoying the recipes! Cheers, Anne

Making this recipe tonight, got all the ingredients and then in read the method to cook. Noticed spring onions are to be added in step 5. Unfortunately, the spring onions & the amount of spring onions have not been included in ingredients. As I am doing 321 Livelighter, it does not get added to the shopping list.The same problem for your Red Beef Curry. A med. onion is to be added in step 3 but isn't included in ingredients therefore doesn't add to s/list. Hope u can fix. Hope you
